Summary

The novel is remarkable in its form and narration. The story unfolds through journal entries, letters, film script, and photographs; and the narration is interrupted by flashbacks, digressions, the switching of narrators, and the presence of foreign words. The specific (dis)order in which events are presented in this book illustrated the state of confusion experienced by Fabrisio in his quest for identity amid a pluricultural society. With this novel the author has succeeded in creating a reading experience which reflects the protagonist's emotional and psychological state of being.
