His anguish is without remedy; his style obsessive and tragically mixed.—Pier Paolo PasoliniVisceral . . . superabundant . . . comedy, humour, grotesque metamorphosis are natural means of expression for this man whose life was always unhappy, tormented by neurosis, by the difficulty of relations with others, by the anguish of death—Italo Calvino
