Giovanni Bòine (Finale Marina, 12 September 1887 – Porto Maurizio, 16 May 1917) was an italian poet, writer and critic.
Giovanni Boine born in Liguria studied in Milan and Paris. In Milan he came in touch with the modernist and avant-garde scene of the era, and this experience had a huge influence on his production.
He often collaborated with numerous and important literary journals and wrote philosophical and religious essays in which emerges his existential thought based on libertarian anarchism and catholicism.
In 1910 he began to show the symptoms of tysis. In 1913 he published his only novel, Il peccato (Sin) in which he recounted about his love for a nun. He died in 1917 at 29.
In 1918 his friends published his only book of poems Frantumi, seguiti da plausi e botte, unusual poetry inspired by Dino Campana and the futurist movement of Filippo Tommaso Marinetti.
He is considered one of the pioneers of the stream-of-consciousness tecnique and of prose poetry.
I had to read this book for one of my university classes and I am so glad to finally be done with it. Thankfully, it was a quick read but I do not recommend it anyway. It was very boring and it felt me kind of disappointed.
