The Profile

Alessandro Baricco (born 1958, Turin) is an Italian novelist and essayist, founder of the Scuola Holden (1994). He is known internationally for Seta (Silk), Oceano mare (Ocean Sea), Novecento, City and Mr Gwyn.

Italian author active since the early 1990s; founder of Scuola Holden in Turin; widely known for Seta (Silk), Oceano mare (Ocean Sea), Novecento, City and Mr Gwyn.

Four DeBaser reviews tackle Baricco’s fiction and one early music essay. City splits readers between dazzled enthusiasm and sharp skepticism, while Mr Gwyn earns warm praise. Castelli di rabbia charms with its dreamlike vignettes; the Hegel/Wisconsin essay frustrates a non‑essay lover. Overall: stylish prose, polarizing impact.
