Paolo Nori is an italian novelist. Born in 1963, he's currently living in
Bologna - like more famous novelist like
Umberto Eco and
Valerio Evangelisti.
He published his long novels as follows:
Most of his writings are centered on his own humourous
anti-hero named
Learco Ferrari, who allegedly lives in
Parma and tries to find time to write his books while weird things keep happening all around him. Though
Learco Ferrari reminds me a little about
Daniel Pennac's
Malaussene, Nori's style and wit are quite peculiar and well worth a reading.
