Giuseppe Berto

Writer

Italian novelist and screenwriter; author of Il Male Oscuro.

Il Male Oscuro (1964) won the Viareggio and the Campiello prizes; the novel is presented as a semi-autobiographical account focusing on neurosis and psychoanalysis.

Reviewer dado discovered Il Male Oscuro via friends and was deeply impressed. The book is presented as a semi-autobiographical account of a neurotic screenwriter, structured in phases from crisis to psychoanalytic exploration to a form of healing. The narrative prompts readers to reconsider their own lives. The novel won the Viareggio and Campiello prizes in 1964.

For:Readers of literary and psychological fiction; students of Italian literature; those interested in psychoanalytic/autobiographical novels.

 In short, I read it and I was blown away.
