Italian novelist and critic known for erudite, meta-literary novels that blend autobiography, intertextuality and stylistic experimentation.

Born 1955. Italian novelist and critic.

Four DeBaser reviews praise Michele Mari's erudite, densely styled prose and recurring obsessions: childhood wounds, memory, objects and literary intertextuality. Reviewers note his meta-literary devices and occasional turn toward more novelistic plots (e.g., Roderick Duddle). Best appreciated by devoted readers comfortable with linguistic complexity.

For:Readers of literary fiction, fans of meta-fiction and autobiographical novels, students of contemporary Italian literature

Roderick Duddle is ultimately the mature and comprehensive fruit of Mari’s writing: it is in every respect a novel of intrigue that combines the protagonist’s formative journey with a complex conflict over an inheritance, thus igniting the noir intrigue punctuated by murders and chases, imprisonments, escapes, deceptions, alliances, and betrayals, revenges.
