One, No One, and One Hundred Thousand

Luigi Pirandello

Well, this was weird. ‘One, No One and One Hundred Thousand’ (1926) by Luigi Pirandello. Don’t really know what to think about this. Pirandello won a Nobel prize in 1934. This was the first I’ve read by him. https://t.co/3bPt7vjO0N

Just finished ‘Crossroads’ by Jonathan Franzen. I liked it less than the other books by him that I’ve read. To me, this one seemed more soap opera-like and less cynical than the others. Quite a lot of stuff about Christianity too. Perhaps I wasn’t in the right mood.

“Silverview” by John le Carré: as expected, a well-written spy novel. Apparently this is really the last Le Carré, as he died recently.
