مدينة

Baricco’s lyrical writing makes the city feel alive and almost personified. Was this a conscious choice to explore urban identity through personification?

The narrative jumps between perspectives and moments, mirroring how cities are layered and unpredictable. I wonder if this was intended to evoke that feeling.

Instead of a typical story, it feels like an ode or a meditation. Curious about what motivated this poetic approach to urban storytelling.
