Just started Il Gattopardo by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa. Actually, by "just started" I mean, "I've worked through the lengthy foreword written by Gioacchino Lanza Tomasi", who consistently refers to the author of the work as "Lampedusa". He never once indicates the specific nature of their relationship, although he does allude to a growing emotional closeness between himself and Lampedusa in the closing years of the latter's life.
