Svevo e gli ordigni di La coscienza di Zeno (Carrubo, 2015), namely the relation between life and writing, and the search for unity through the narration of internal conflicts and contradictions, also underscore this essay. What does writing about oneself mean? Was it perhaps Kakfa right when he argued that autobiography is like wielding an ax, and breaking the frozen ocean of our solitude? Or is it rather the attempt to search for the internal unity of the subject? Italo Svevo effectively employed the confessional and autobiographical genre in most of his writing. Confession and autobiography enabled him to elaborate the often conflicting relation between literature and life, and between the two parallel identities of Italo Svevo and Ettore Schmitz. The writing of oneself enacted by Svevo looks for an order and a desire for unity, which, however, must pass by necessity through disunity and openness.
