Quer pasticciaccio brutto de via Merulana (1946, 1957, translated into English as That Awful Mess on Via Merulana) is a book by Carlo Emilio Gadda.
In 1946, the magazine Letteratura published, in five episodes, the crime novel which experiments heavily with language, borrowing a great deal from several Italian dialects. It is also notable for not telling whodunnit at the end.
