You're super close. Only that the old man who helped him was a humanist. Think about Italian poets. And the narrator...is very very modern....

By the way, I'm really glad you liked the story! ☺️

    Phew, I only found out about Francesco Petrarca after your clues and the subsequent AI survey. I've never heard of him - is that embarrassing now?!

    And do I know very, very modern literature? A Russian? Wait, I'll read the other comments...

    Good. Neil Gaiman.
    Gaiman has repeatedly emphasized that Russian writers and Mark Twain are among his literary influences. - says ChatGPT... 🤷‍♀️

    Neil Gaiman is a very good guess but this person is American and his book won the Man Booker prize for 2017
