«El zafarrancho aquel de via Merulana» is the crime novel by Carlo Emilio Gadda, published by Planeta in hardback (312 pages, in Spanish).
The narrative is structured around several police incidents that branch out and become the starting point for Gadda to trace a complex vision of the Italy of his time, with social classes in crisis and a world reflected in popular Rome. The investigation acts as a connecting thread between the city's settings and characters.
The novel belongs to the Clásicos Contemporáneos Internacionales collection; the original Italian work was published in 1957 under the title «Quer pasticciaccio brutto de via Merulana».
Recommended for readers of twentieth-century Italian fiction and classic crime novels with a social backdrop.
Carlo Emilio Gadda was an Italian writer and poet. He belongs to the tradition of the language innovators, writers who played with the somewhat stiff standard pre-war Italian language, and added elements of dialects, technical jargon and wordplay.
