TRANSGRESSIONISTS AND OTHER DISQUIETING WORKS (PB)

Before an untimely mental breakdown cut short his two-decade career, Giorgio De Maria distinguished himself as one of Italy's most unique and eccentric weird fiction masters. Available in English for the first time, this collection contains two novellas (‘The Transgressionists’ and ‘The Secret Death of Joseph Dzhugashvili’), two short stories (‘The End of Everydayism’ and ‘General Trebisonda’), and dystopian teleplay, ‘The Appeal’. An introduction by translator Ramon Glazov offers a detailed account of De Maria's background, creative context and thoroughly unusual life.
