Loved this - such good writing of the character’s inner life. Biggest critique was that there could have been more (even if due to character flaws) about why the narrator and Arianna could not end up together.

An existential love story set in 1960s Rome.
The writing is beautiful, as we follow the damaged protagonist, Leo, who drifts through life aimlessly.
He meets the equally damaged Arianna, and they both fall in love but never seem to meet emotionally.
It's beautiful and sometimes brutal, but Leo's detachment from life makes this a story about the loneliness of city life.
There's a lot to examine in this short, beautifully written book.
