Au départ d'Atocha

The book delves deeply into personal identity and artistic expression. I'm curious what inspired the approach to making these conflicts feel so visceral.

I found myself immersed in the quiet moments, but at times it felt like the story was deliberately restrained. Was that intentional to mirror the character's mindset?

The exploration of what makes art genuine versus performative was thought-provoking. I wonder how different readers interpret the protagonist's artistic journey.
