Aldo Busi is an Italian writer. In his dense and material language, full of influences of various origins, Busi captures, almost through a sympathetic action, the various pulsations of reality. A sensitive, scathing intellectual, he reveals the nature of a moralist beneath the surface of his sophisticated amusement. After his famous debut with Seminar on Youth (1984), he published the novels Standard Life of a Temporary Pantyhose Seller (1985) and The Byzantine Dolphin (1985), followed by the controversial miscellaneous Sodomies in Elevenpoint (1988).
