  Vitaliano Brancati

  Nato da Rosario, avvocato con interessi letterari, e da Antonietta Ciàvola, Vitaliano Brancati compie i propri studi a Catania e si laurea in lettere nel ‘29, con una tesi su Federico De Roberto. Per alcuni anni, si dedica all’insegnamento e pubblica opere (il poema drammatico “Fedor”, 1928; l’atto unico “Everest”, 1931; il dramma patriottico “Piave”, 1932) di irrilevante valore artistico e manifesti intenti di propaganda nazionalfascista. Si trasferisce intanto a Roma, ove - grazie pure ai contatti con Moravia ed Alvaro - si allontana dalle posizioni politiche favorevoli al regime, al punto da ripudiare i suoi lavori precedenti. Il nuovo corso artistico si apre con “Gli anni perduti” (1938), intriso di umori gogoliani e cechoviani: ma è co

  She eventually studied with Massimo Bontempelli, proponent of the "magical realism" she herself would soon make her own as well, and in 1937 published her first collection of short stories, entitled "Angelici Dolori." Her work garnered her
