| Summary: | "Before an untimely mental breakdown cut short his career, Giorgio De Maria wrote several of Italy's most original weird fiction masterpieces. His writing coincided with the decade of terrorist violence Italians still know as the Years of Lead; the outcome was a weird fiction suffused with rage, trauma, paranoia and meditations on antisocial hubris. In 1978, he told an interviewer: '[T]he dimension of the fantastic ... is the most fitting one to express a reality as complex as ours today.''--Back cover. |
