Kaputt is a novel by Italian writer Curzio Malaparte, published in 1944. It is a semi-autobiographical work that recounts the author'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 offers a grotesque and desolate vision of war, moral decay, and the brutality of the Nazi regime. The novel is known for its provocative style, black humor, and its portrayal of historical figures such as Hans Frank and Galeazzo Ciano.
