    Dino Buzzati

    Uh-oh.

    I discovered him late and didn't read him until my 60s. Does that count as my 30s times two? I will say that perhaps because of that, it hit me even harder and made that much more of an impression.

    We were in Florence a few years ago and I went into more bookstores looking for "libri di Buzzati in inglese." Nothing. Not a single book. ?

    P.S. To BergmanFan: just ordered The Siren; play your cards right and maybe I can figure out how to operate my wife's scanner!)

    That would be amazing Thank You, sir. I have yet to read Il deserto dei Tartaribut I think I shall tackle this gem this year. I have been saving it. One of my friends speaks very highly of it. And I have yet to come across a negative review of that book. I wonder if this is his magnum opus, or perhaps Larger than Life or Love Affair come close enough or even surpass it, not to mention some earlier books not translated to English.

      FIND ITALIAN BOOKS

      Dino Buzzati (1906-1972) was an Italian writer, journalist, and painter, best known for his novel “Il deserto dei Tartari” (“The Tartar Steppe”), published in 1940. Buzzati’s work often explores themes of existentialism, the absurd, and the surreal, drawing comparisons to the likes of Franz Kafka and Albert Camus.

      Early Life and Career

      Born on October 16, 1906, in Belluno, Italy, Buzzati studied law at the University of Milan. He began his journalism career with the Milanese newspaper Corriere della Sera, where he worked for over four decades. His experiences as a journalist significantly influenced his writing style and themes.

      Literary Contributions

      Buzzati’s most famous work, “The Tartar Steppe,” is considered a masterpiece of modern literature. The novel tells the story of Giovanni Drogo, a young officer assigned to a remote fort overlooking a vast desert, waiting for a never-arriving enemy invasion. Th
