This book explores the literary work of Antonio Tabucchi from a visual perspective, focusing on its interaction with the arts of painting, photography and cinema. Drawing on the visual studies and on postmodernist theory and criticism, it offers a textual and philosophical inquiry into the visual narrative of one of Europe’s most original writers.

Visual images and imagery, optical metaphors and iconic quotations are common features in the literary work of Antonio Tabucchi, along with references to the world of painting, photography, and cinema. This book explores the «iconic temptation» of the Italian author, pointing out his visual strategies of representation and poetic thought. By focusing on the visual intertextuality of his fiction, it discusses questions of style and content whilst also emphasizing the role of images as a privileged means of narrative knowledge and philosophical insight. Drawing on the visual studies and on postmodernist theory and criticism, this study offers a comprehensive inquiry into the visual poetics of one of Europe’s most innovative writers.
