In 1967 Moravia visited China, Japan and Korea. In 1971 he published the novel "Io e lui" ("I and He" or "The Two of Us") about a screenwriter, his independent penis and the situations to which he thrusts them and the essay "Poesia e romanzo" ("Poetry and Novel"). In 1972 he went to Africa, which inspired his work "A quale tribù appartieni?" ("Which Tribe Do You Belong To?"), published in the same year. His 1982 trip to Japan, including a visit to Hiroshima, inspired a series of articles for "L'Espresso" magazine about the atomic bomb. The same theme is in the novel "L'Uomo che Guarda" ("The Man Who Looks", 1985) and the essay "L'Inverno Nucleare" ("The Nuclear Winter"), including interviews with some contemporary principal scientists and politicians.
