About Acquainted with Grief
Gadda's polyglot 1963 masterpiece (serialized 1938–41) — Gonzalo Pirobutirro lives with his elderly mother in a fictional South American country, carrying grief for his brother killed in WWI; narrated in a pastiche of Milanese dialect, literary Italian, bureaucratic language, and neologism that influenced every subsequent generation of Italian writers; formally unfinished like all Gadda.
