A neurotic Italian businessman obsessed by his own hypochondria, Zeno Cosini recounts his early years to his psychoanalyst Dr S. With a cigarette clutched permanently between his fingers, he explores the important themes of his life: his love of smoking, his relationship with his parents, his marriage. ‘Zeno’s Conscience’ was an innovation in its time and remains a masterpiece of Italian modernist literature.
