Description

A tale of ambivalence and obsession unfolds in this psychological novel about a charismatic drifter named Nicola. His lies and mannerisms remind the narrator of his own past experiences, blurring the lines between truth and deception. As the narrator becomes increasingly fascinated with Nicola, their casual friendship deepens into an all-consuming attachment. This complex relationship is set against the backdrop of Milan's streets and outskirts, where the boundaries between identity, culture, and obsession become increasingly blurred. Through a unique blend of psychological insight and detached observation, this novel explores the darker aspects of contemporary cultural life, revealing a world of tics, affectations, and hidden crises.
