Viareggio Prize (Premio Viareggio / Premio Letterario Viareggio-Rèpaci)
L'irrealtà quotidiana
Using the experience of psychoanalysis as its starting point, this highly essayistic novel examines the feeling of unreality from social, political, and literary angles.
Work Information
It follows the moments when everyday life starts to feel strangely detached from reality through reflection and self-observation.
First published in 1966 and republished by Guanda in 2004, this 'novelistic essay' uses psychoanalytic experience as its axis and expands the sense of unreality into social, political, and literary questions. It stands as one of Ottieri's major works of reflection.
Review Summaries
-
The book is read as being built around a psychoanalytic experience of unstable reality and expanding from there into psychology, politics, autobiography, and philosophy. It is often seen less as a conventional novel than as a book that foregrounds the movement of thought itself.
-
Critically, it is treated as a highly singular book that unsettles the reader. In the context of the author's career as a whole, some regard it as a decisive turning point.
