Antonio Moresco (born 30 October 1947 in Mantua) is an Italian writer.
Defined as one of the founding fathers of a new line of Italian literature that moves beyond post-modernity, and likened to Don DeLillo and Thomas Pynchon,[1] he has been described by Roberto Saviano as "a literary patrimony".[2]
His first publications appeared late in his career, after he had been turned down by several editors. His output is centred on the monumental trilogy L'increato, whose three volumes are: Gli esordi (Feltrinelli 1998, republished by Mondadori in 2011 – 673 pages), Canti del caos (part 1 by Feltrinelli in 2001, part 2 by Rizzoli in 2003; republished by Mondadori in 2009 – 1072 pages), and Gli increati (Mondadori 2015).
