This is one of the most beautiful and strangely compiled books I've ever read. An intricate and intimate study of character and place, flaw and change, you might never read such a proximal and complete story as this one! 

At times it changes in style and format so drastically that it feels like different writers complied it. However, it is such a rich and nuanced text that I think it is easily worth the time and energy spent reading it.

Not for the faint of heart, but rewarding if you are willing to wrangle with it.

UNA VITA

“Il male sta nelle parole che la tradizione ha voluto assolute, nei significati snaturati che le parole continuano a rivestire. Mentiva la parola amore, esattamente come la parola morte. Mentivano molte parole, mentivano quasi tutte.”
