Dino Buzzati

---

Dino Buzzati was born in 1906 in San Pellegrino, Italy. He began work as a journalist for the Milan newspaper Corriere della Sera in 1928, and has since become recognized internationally for his fiction and plays as well as being lauded in Italy for his work in journalism and for his painting.

Influenced by Kafka, Buzzati's work has a surreal, ironic tone of his own. His most well known work is The Tartar Steppe (1940). Dino Buzzati died in 1972.
