Antonio Moresco
Antonio Moresco is an Italian writer.
Defined as one of the founding fathers of a new line of Italian literature that moves beyond post-modernity, and likened to Don DeLillo and Thomas Pynchon, he has been described by Roberto Saviano as "a literary heritage".
His first publications appeared late in his life after he had been turned down by several publishers. In 1993, he published his first novel, Clandestinita', but his career-defining project is the monumental trilogy Giochi dell'eternità, made up of the following volumes: Gli esordi, Canti del caos, and Gli increati. He has published many other works, such as short stories, children's stories, and he has organized several collective marches throughout Italy and Europe, which have become the topics for some of his works.
