Agostino (original 1944; edition 1974)

Now we're talking. Moravia's got style!
This is a short novel. The story is simple, not even necessarily original (a Freudian coming-of-age tale). But... it was fun to read. I was immediately drawn into Agostino's world. I wanted to keep reading it.
This is style. ( )

This novel could be, according to the terse language, a precursor of the Nouveau Roman. Moravia portrays the soulscape of a thirteen years old boy.
