I read this whilst visiting Rome and was absolutely enchanted. Such a beautiful, heart wrenching story.
I loveeee a mid century classic with a fucked up main character living their fucked up lives in their fucked up, sweltering hot capital city. Some of the characters were slightly boring though and I felt it could have been more interesting during the middle. Still a great read

this felt like an italian ‘Nausea’. Nausea if antoine fucked a bit more and spent more time in the sun.
the protagonist had a kind of directionless apathy towards rome and the direction of his life that I particularly empathise with in this silly little year of everything and nothing. much to think about. made me want to go for a swim :)

This book is not bad, but at page 112 I surrendered to the fact that this just isn’t my type of book. Maybe I could enjoy it at some other stage in life, but not now.
