About “Zeno's Conscience”
This 1923 novel by Italian writer Italo Svevo centers on Zeno Cosini, presenting the fictional character's memoirs, which he keeps because his psychoanalyst recommended doing so to overcome his illness. He writes about his father, his business, his wife, and his tobacco habit. It was originally translated into English as Confessions of Zeno. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
