About the author

Luigi Pirandello; Agrigento (28 June 1867 – Rome 10 December 1936) was an Italian dramatist, novelist, poet, and short story writer whose greatest contributions were his plays.

He was awarded the 1934 Nobel Prize in Literature for "his bold and ingenious revival of dramatic and scenic art"

Pirandello's works include novels, hundreds of short stories, and about 40 plays, some of which are written in Sicilian. Pirandello's tragic farces are often seen as forerunners of the Theatre of the Absurd.

[Alice · Rating 4 out of 5]

Pirandello is a genius, his phrases are flawless and his words marvellous.
His writing is never boring, incredibly engaging and laugh-worthy while still delivering serious messages. Once more impressed by his work I'm glad I have the chance to study him at school and not see him with the usual disregard teenagers reserve to intellectuals they're forced to learn about.
Probably going to head into more of his novels soon.
