Author Description Beppe Fenoglio (born Giuseppe Fenoglio) was an Italian writer. His work was published in a critical edition after his death, but controversy remains about his book <i>Johnny the Partisan</i>, often considered his best work, which was published posthumously and incomplete in 1968.<br />The works of Fenoglio have two main themes: the rural world of the Langhe and the partisan war; equally, the writer has two styles: the chronicle and the epos. His first work was in the neorealist style: <i>La paga del sabato</i> (this was published posthumously too in 1969).<br />The novel was turned down by Elio Vittorini who advised Fenoglio to carve out stories and then incorporate them into the <i>The twenty-three days of the city of Alba</i> (1952). These stories were a chronicle of the Italian Partisans or of rural life. One of such works was <i>La malora</i> (1954), a long story in the style of Giovanni Verga.
