review 1: per essere l'opera prima di un 23enne l'ho trovato notevole anche se un tantino pretenzioso; la storia è presto detta, si tratta dei percorsi di un giovane uomo nei meandri della sua psiche contorta e contemporaneamente nei vicoli e nel lungomare di una città balneare in un afoso ed assolato agosto. Si potrebbe definirlo un esistenzialista, alcune digressioni filosofiche lo suggeriscono, seguirlo nei suoi processi mentali a volte risulta ostico ma le descrizioni e la resa degli spezzoni di chiacchere inutili dei passanti o dei curiosi in caso d'incidente, l'osservazione dei "riti" di shopping ed aperitivi della gente "normale", colpiscono ed affondano chiunque, almeno con me ha funzionato.
review 2: I must say I find this book very french and very 60s. Not a
... morebad thing mind you. Clearly copied by many others after. Easy to see why it won such a prestigious prize, especially by one so young. I recently watched Fando Y Lis which came out a couple of years or so later. Although different they held similarities for me in that they both are examples of the type of experimentalism in film and literature that was popularized in the 60s and 70s. Clearly the protagonist is insane but the world is shown to be as well. I believe if I had read this book when I was still in my 20s I would have given it 5 stars but the constant digressions and almost excruciating detail wore on me at times. I've become accustomed to the mad world we live in you see. less

If you weren't having an existential crisis when you start, you will be when you finish.
