He was the first writer to win the Prix Médicis étranger in 1970. He was awarded the Brancati Prize [it] in 1979, the Mondello Prize in 1987, the Grinzane Cavour Prize in 1989 (with Stefano Jacomuzzi [it] and Raffaele La Capria), the Viareggio Prize in 1992, the Flaiano Prize in 1990 and the Feronia-Città di Fiano Prize [it] in 1992. His name popped up among the candidates to the Nobel prize for literature in 2000.[1]
The memory
"An amusing writer, Malerba is a curious man: curious about language, history, customs, plots and coincidences in life. Not casually he ventured into novels, linguistic essays, screenplays for cinema and television and children's novels".[2]
Umberto Eco said about him: "Many have associated Malerba with post-modern authors, but this classification is inaccurate. The author of What Is This Buzzing, Do You Hear It Too? is always behaving in a maliciously ironic way, using subterfuges and ambiguities".[3] He was one of the most important exponents of the Italian literary movement called Neoavanguardia, along with Balestrini, Sanguineti, and Manganelli.
Paolo Mauri wrote about him: "Malerba operated within the Neoavanguardia: he liked the idea of turning the old narratives upside down and go for new, experimental solutions. With his novels The serpent and What Is This Buzzing, Do You Hear It Too? he started to play on the thread of paradox, where investigations lead to nothing, heroes born from the writer's mind and made to live on the page only to reveal an unexpected trick and a new, absolutely original language. He would then continue, from novel to novel, constantly renewing his themes and style".[4]
