Svevo, Italo (Ettore Schmitz)
- Svevo, Italo (Ettore Schmitz)
(1861–1928)
Italian novelist. A businessman in Trieste, Schmitz wrote under the pen name of Svevo. James Joyce, who spent some years in Trieste, discovered him and their correspondence over some years was published in France and England. After two novels which met with no success, his semi-autobiographical Confessions of Zeno (Ital. 1923; Eng. 1930) was hailed as a masterpiece. Svevo was killed in a car accident and most of his collections of stories appeared posthumously: The Nice Old Man and the Pretty Girl (Ital. 1929; Eng. 1930), Short Sentimental Journey and Other Stories (Ital. 1949; Eng. 1967).
