Tagged: Author.
(1906-1972) Italian journalist, artist and author, active from before 1930, much of his work being fantasy irradiated by the surreal as conveyed through narratives whose speculative thrusts have at times a profoundly non-mimetic, almost allegorical clarity, though (see Fantastika) they seem invariably to benefit from being read literally; he shares many characteristics with his compeers Italo Calvino and Tommaso Landolfi.
From his first unsettling children's stories in the 1930s, beginning with Bàrnabo della montagne ["Barnabo of the Mountains"] (1933 chap), he was noted for the Kafka-like anxiety riddling his apparently simple plots, though he argued futilely against the link.
His best-known early work is probably La famosa invasione degli orsi in Sicilia (1945; trans Frances Lobb as The Bears' Famous Invasion of Sicily1947), which leaves the bears' success in cohabiting with humans very much up in the air.
