Memoir of Italo Svevo

Memoir of Italo Svevo

Isabel Quigley
4/5 ( ratings)
The writer Italo Svevo had many things in common with other writers: a long struggle for recognition; a mutually respectful friendship with a noteworthy author ; and a long list of neuroses. His choice of a wife, however, was anything but common. Livia Veneziani Svevo tirelessly worked on her husband's behalf after his tragic early death and also penned this remarkable portrait of a serious artist and a loving marriage. Memoir of Italo Svevo illuminates its subject's darkly comic novels, telling the story of how a successful businessman in his middle age, obsessed with smoking as much as his abandoned literary ambitions, somehow became one of the great authors of the twentieth century.
