Kaputt is a novel by the Italian writer Curzio Malaparte, published in 1944. The work is a semi-autobiographical account of Malaparte's experiences as a war correspondent for the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera on the eastern front during World War II. Through a series of vignettes and anecdotes, Malaparte describes the brutality and absurdity of war, as well as the moral decay of European society at the time. The novel is a scathing critique of fascism and Nazism, and a reflection on the human condition in times of war.
