The Editor as a Character: a Satiric Portrait of a "Milanese" in "L’Iguana" by Anna Maria Ortese

Abstract

Relationships between authors and publishers may be complicated. Sometimes they are reflected in novels as in the case of Anna Maria Ortese’s L’Iguana. Adelchi is a publisher who persuades his friend Aleardo to travel in search of exotic stories, an issue that will cause his death in a remote island. In the middle of the two characters we can see a portrait of Giangiacomo Feltrinelli.
