«El pobre Piero» is the humour novel by Achille Campanile, published in 1982 by Plaza & Janés in paperback (229 pages, in Spanish).
After the death of Piero, a writer ignored in life, his corpse is stolen, hidden and covered with epitaphs and obituaries, while his relatives stage scenes of weeping and absurdity. Campanile turns chaos into an ironic reflection on the absurdity of human behaviour and a sarcastic portrait of his characters.
Translation by Juan Moreno. Belongs to the collection 'El monigote de papel', number 27. The original Italian work, «Il povero Piero», was published in 1959.
For readers who enjoy absurd humour and far-fetched situations around death and family relationships.
