A Life

`If you have never read Svevo, do as soon as you can. He is beautiful and important` New Statesman`A master` New YorkerAlfonso Nitti, tormented by the demands of his bank job, longs to be a poet. He also seems to be falling in love with Annetta, the vain and arrogant daughter of his boss. In this tale of the frustrated existence of a bank clerk with a poetic soul, the clash between the emptiness of Alfonso`s daily life and his artistic aspirations has devastating consequences.A Life is the highly personal, semi-autobiographical first novel by Italo Svevo. A failure on first publication, it wasn`t until the young James Joyce read this book that A Life finally gained the recognition it deserved, and Svevo was celebrated as one of the greatest Italian modernist novelists.
