Poe and Kafka meet The Twilight Zone in this anthology of fifty fantastical tales, many of them reflecting the political and social energies of the time, by an Italian master of the short story.
Dino Buzzati was a prolific writer of stories, publishing several hundred over the course of forty years. Many of them are fantasticreminiscent of Kafka and Poe in their mixture of horror and absurdity, and at the same time anticipating the alternate realities of The Twilight Zone or Black Mirror in their chilling commentary on the barbarities, catastrophes, and fanaticisms of the twentieth century.
In The Bewitched Bourgeois, Lawrence Venuti has put together an anthology that showcases Buzzatis short fiction from his earliest stories to the ones he wrote in the last months of his life. Some appear in English for the first time, while others are reappearing in Venutis crisp new versions, such as the much-anthologized Seven Floors, an absurdist tale of a patient fatally caught in hospital bureaucracy; Panic at La Scala, in which the Milanese bourgeoisie, fearing a left-wing revolution, find themselves imprisoned in the opera house; and Appointment with Einstein, where the physicist, stopping at a filling station in Princeton, New Jersey, encounters a gas station attendant who turns out to be the Angel of Death.
