I kind of expected a Pirandello reference here.

Vitangelo Moscarda discovers, by way of a completely irrelevant question that his wife poses to him, that everyone he knows, indeed everyone he has ever met, has constructed a Vitangelo persona in their own imagination and that none of these personas corresponds to the image of Vitangelo that he himself has constructed and believes himself to be.

Huh. To me that seems like it’s either trivially true or it’s nonsense, depending on definitions.
Of course nobody knows anybody 100% - especially not oneself. So each person gets a different view, with slightly different facts and assumptions about each other.
But on the other hand, strong or important personality traits tend to be noticeable after spending just a few minutes with a person.

No that’s a thin slice judgement

Interesting. That I think that puts it more on the ‘trivially true’ side (that everyone has a different view of everyone else, not necessarily an accurate one).

Thank you for giving me a new book to read. This sounds incredibly interesting.

Oh most of his work seems to be in public domain.
I can see many old translations to many languages, however the only place I can find them is Anna’s archive. For example they have editions made by epublibre, but epublibre itself is down.

Alright I started reading it this morning. Very entertaining.
Super thx, I’m always interested in authors from Latin countries since they’re closer to my culture.
