In questo romanzo è racchiusa tutta la poetica pirandelliana della maschera, della disgregazione dell'io e della vita in continuo movimento e continuo movimento.
Il protagonista/narratore, Vitangelo Moscarda, dopo che la moglie gli ha fatto notare che il suo naso pende leggermente a destra, entra in una spirale di "pazzia" che parte da una crisi di identità e lo porta a capire che lui, e allo stesso modo tutti gli altri, non è unico, ma arriva a concepire che egli è un nulla (Nessuno), attraverso la presa di coscienza dei diversi se stesso che via via diventa nel suo rapporto con gli altri (Centomila).

3.5 - 4 stars!
I loved the concept of this book, it is something I have thought about often enough myself so reading about it in a way that is so well explained was equal parts comforting and disturbing....but man, the writing style was quite hard to follow at times.
As a side note, genuinely quite interested in how many commas were used in total, every single sentence had at least 5??

This was such a fun and fascinating read! I was gripped by the protagonist's reflection about the many (and/or no) selves we become and the gradual disintegration of his identity. Add to this a lively voice, a few humorous (and shall I say, universal) about the society, and a really interesting take on chapter format. For me, it's the kind of book I'll be thinking about for a long time.
