Andrea Chiurato obtained his PhD in Comparative Literature. Le letterature, le culture e l'Europa: storia, scrittura e traduzione nel 2008, proposing an analysis of the relations between the Nouveau Roman and the Italian neo-avant-garde: La linea Butor. The experimental novel in France and Italy from 1953 to 1969.

Publications dedicated to these two areas include, respectively: The rearguard of the avant-garde (2011); where the city ends. Reflections on the work of J. G. Ballard (2013) and The Metropolis at the Edge. Otherness, diversity and exclusion between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries (2016).
