Episode number 003 of The Justin Curfman Podcast is now online.
This episode focuses on Tommaso Landolfi - one of the strangest and most overlooked writers in twentieth-century Italian literature. A compulsive gambler, aristocrat, translator and master of surreal and grotesque fiction, Landolfi wrote stories filled with inflatable wives, blasphemous monkeys, sentient spaceships and psychological collapse.
The episode covers his life, literary style, major works, themes, influence on later Italian writers and why his work still feels unsettlingly modern.
