Come si fa a scrivere un commento a un libro così? La prima parola che mi viene in mente è “strano”. Poi in successione: grottesco, surreale, estremo. Strana l’ambientazione, strani i personaggi, strano il linguaggio, strane le situazioni. E non perché la vicenda non sia ambientata in una città normale, o in un appartamento normale or upstream of the pawns in a normal, but because the context is somewhat distorted, dipped in a kind of nebulous dream indeed, often nightmarish, which distorts the contours and alter perceptions. The characters are extreme and absolute: If you have an idea make their lives if they have a phobia are dominated until his death, and if they have a goal, this becomes a phobia in your mind and then, the becomes obsessive and pervasive.
So there is no single action or sentence of the book is plausible, and yet, in reality everything is congruent to the overall logic of the narrative, and any action or sentence contributes to the process construction and destruction of the game of extremes.
