Antonio di Benedetto

    November 2, 1922 – October 10, 1986

    Antonio di Benedetto was an Argentine journalist and writer whose work is deeply rooted in existentialist concerns, drawing inspiration from authors like Dostoevsky and Pirandello. His novels, most famously the existential masterpiece Zama, delve into profound questions of human existence and the search for meaning. Critics often draw parallels between his distinctive prose and the literary innovations of the French nouveau roman and other prominent Latin American writers. Di Benedetto masterfully captures unique atmospheres and explores themes of isolation, identity, and the human condition.
