Has any one read Antonio Moravia?

I want to introduce readers to a lost classic Italian writer, Alberto Moravia, whose two books, Boredom and Contempt, are included in the NY Review of Books. He's an existential predecessor of Camus and Sartre, yet Moravia's work has the imaginative prose and philosophical depth that classics like Nausea, No Exit, The Fall, and The Plague, harsely lack. It's time this great writer is given his due. I hope that this little bulletin inspires some to check him out. Moravia's wife is the late writer, Elsa Morante, with her own acclaimed body of work.

I think you mean Alberto Moravia. I read a couple of his short stories years ago, but I can't remember much about them.

I was a little buzzed when I wrote that thread...Right you are on the name...I just changed it! Thanks!

As an avid reader of Camus and Sartre, I'll add this guy to my "To Read" list, thanks for the mention :)

To my shame, I have never read Moravia *adds it to list too* but I have read a novel by Elsa Morante.
