β¦ Synopsis
Much admired in Europe, Landolfi has been called "the Italian Kafka"; he is often linked with the Surrealists, and in the intellectual quality of his fantasy there are certain affinities with Borges; but beyond these superficial comparisons, his is a truly uniqueββand fascinatingββart. It is based in a prodigious imagination, a very curious sense of humor and a rare command of irony.
With this collection of stories by Tommaso Landolfi, drawn from his volumes published in Italy over the last 25 years, New Directions is proud to be able to introduce here one of the most extraordinary writers of our day. The translations are by Raymond Rosenthal, John Longrigg and Wayland Young.
