Tomasso and the Blind Photographer - Softcover
Tommaso is the janitor of a crumbling apartment block. Through him we get to know all the inhabitants of this teetering Italian microcosm—the pedlars, the ponces, the florid housewives, the wannabes and the has-beens. We also get to know the janitor's friend, a blind photographer.

From Kirkus Reviews:
Published shortly after its Italian author's death in 1996, this clever story (which follows into English translation Bufalino's The Keeper of Ruins and The Plague-Spreader's Tale) represents the musings of its eponymous narrator, a former journalist who's become a "Voluntary Trappist and general factotum in a block of flats" still under construction. Tommaso joins his photographer friend Tir (so nicknamed for Tiresias, Sophocles' blind seer) in meditative observations of the landlocked ship of fools that their errant neighbors comprise, in a wistfully amusing tale that's equal parts love story, murder mystery, and gentle parody-of social and criminal organizations, the limitations and pleasures of voyeurism, and the infuriating haphazardness of writers' runaway imaginations. A terrific little novel. -- Copyright © 2000 Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.
