Media Reviews
Svevo's masterpiece . . . Ýin a fresh translation by the dean of Italian literary translators. - Los Angeles Times An excellent new rendering Ýof a marvellous and original book. -James Wood, London Review of Books A masterpiece, a novel overflowing with human truth in all its murkiness, laughter and terror, a book as striking and relevant today as when it was first published, and a book that is in every good way-its originality included-like life. -Claire Messud, The New Republic Hilarious. . . . Effortlessly inventive and eerily prescient. . . . William Weaver . . . updates the novelist's idiosyncratic prose with great affection. - The Atlantic Monthly An event in modern publishing. For the first time, I believe, in English, we get the true, dark music, the pewter tints, of Svevo's great last novel. . . . ÝSvevo is a master. -Joan Acocella, The New Yorker ÝAn exhilarating and utterly original novel. . . . Weaver's version strikes one as excellent. -P. N. Furbank, Literary Review One of the great comic novels of the twentieth century. . . . ÝSvevo is perhaps the most significant Italian modernist novelist. - The Times Literary Supplement ÝA neglected masterpiece. Seventy-five years old, the novel feels entirely modern. - The Boston Globe A reason for celebration. . . . If you have never read Svevo, do so as soon as you can. He is beautiful and important. - New Statesman One of the indispensable 20th-century novels. . . . A revolutionary book, and arguably (in fact, probably) the finest of all Italian novels. - Kirkus Reviews No one has done more to make modern Italian literatureavailable in English than William Weaver. . . . ÝHis new translation is scrupulously accurate. - Anniston Star

Author's Bio
Italo Svevo (1861-1928) lived most of his life in Trieste, now part of Italy, but then a port of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. ZENO'S CONSCIENCE is his greatest work, seen by James Joyce as one of the century's handful of masterpieces. His other novels include AS A MAN GROWS OLDER and A LIFE. William Weaver is most famously the translator of Italo Calvino and Umberto Eco.
