«Il visitatore che non c'era» is the mystery novel by Fredric Brown published by Polillo in paperback (245 pages, in Italian).
Doc Stoeger, editor of the Carmel City Clarion weekly, lives in a town where nothing happens. One night he receives a visit from Yehudi Smith, a stranger who claims to belong to a society of Lewis Carroll admirers. Soon crimes and episodes ensue that seem taken from Alice in Wonderland.
Part of the I bassotti collection. Originally published in 1950 as 'Night of the Jabberwock'. Translated by Tracy Lord.
For fans of crime fiction and classic mystery, with a constant nod to Lewis Carroll.
Fredric Brown was an American science fiction, fantasy, and mystery writer. He is known for his use of humor and for his mastery of the "short short" form—stories of one to three pages, often with ingenious plotting devices and surprise endings. Humor and a postmodern outlook carried over into his novels as well. One of his stories, "Arena", was adapted into a 1967 episode of the American television series Star Trek.
