Ennio Flaiano Book order
March 5, 1910 – November 20, 1972
Ennio Flaiano was an Italian writer and journalist whose work is characterized by caustic irony and a melancholic gaze upon reality. His prose, often set in Rome, a city he both loved and detested, offers sharp commentary on urban life, its virtues and vices. His writings reflect a sense of inner emptiness and futility, particularly in the context of historical events like Italian colonial aggression. Flaiano masterfully captured the tension between the individual and society, often with timeless relevance.
