The Late Mattia Pascal By Luigi Pirandello Introduction by Charles Simic Translated by William Weaver Nobel Prize–winner Luigi Pirandello is at once the most teasing and profound of modern masters, a connoisseur of ironies and impossibilities, and The Late Mattia Pascal is undoubtedly his most polished performance as a writer of fiction.
