Intrigue, blackmail and murder — a dark satire from the great Italian humorist.
Tommaso, a former journalist, is caretaker of a crumbling suburban apartment block who delights in sticking his nose into the tenants’ business, and what a disreputable lot they are — penniless aristos, failed playwrights, rich junkies, jazz freaks, cross-dressers…and a sexy siren called Leah. His friend Tir, the blind photographer of the title, is killed in mysterious circumstances, but where is the incriminating roll of film that the criminal underworld were pursuing him for? Tommaso decides to get to the bottom of the matter in this elaborate Pirandellian tale of frauds and deceptions. A mischievous, teasing work that displays all the skills, enigmas and delight of Bufalino’s narrative genius, in what was to be his final novel. Just brilliant.
