Italo Svevo

The figure of the Inept, an unprecedented psychological portrait in Italian literature (and perhaps worldwide). Three splendid books (Una Vita, Senilità, and La Coscienza di Zeno) and three protagonists (Alfonzo Nitti, Emilio Brentani, and Zeno Cosini) that reveal human action. A genius.

Italo Svevo

Italo Svevo (pseudonym of Aron Hector Schmitz) was an Italian modernist novelist from Trieste, best known for La coscienza di Zeno (1923). Admired and supported by James Joyce and Eugenio Montale, he explored psychology, irony, and the ‘inept’ modern self. He died in 1928 following a car accident.
