“This book not only depicts dramatically, but at the same time demonstrates by what might be termed a mathematic method, the impossibility of any human creature’s being to others what he is to himself. “If you would like to have an idea of how it is that others see you, so as no longer to have to marvel at the judgments which others pass upon your personality, learn to reflect like the hero of this novel.” LUIGI PIRANDELLO.
Reviews with the most likes.
Reads more like an essay in metaphysics, the ramblings of a stranger who we become accustomed to, and even start to root for. Although it can feel a bit eclectic at time (the paragraph-long sentences certainly don't help), there are gems that compel-if not force-you to close the book and ruminate. The giddy feeling of encountering fresh ideas and perspectives pervades its pages. It’s the kind of book that reveals new layers of meaning at different stages of life—an intellectually demanding but deeply rewarding read.
