The writings and narrative voice in <i>Piranesi</i> put you in a particular state of mind, one that feels religious and melancholic. Yet it does not overdo anything to the effect. If I could smash a book, this is it. Everything about this piece of literature is perfect—I rest my case.
Graphic: Confinement, Death, Mental illness, Slavery, Dementia, Kidnapping, Gaslighting, and Toxic friendship
