Qualche foglia verde

The humor feels so natural and understated—what do you think Pym was aiming for with her comedic style? Did it make the emotional moments hit harder?

Pym’s keen eye for social nuance really stood out to me. I wonder how much of that was based on her own experiences or observations.

The book beautifully captures mid-20th-century Britain, but I’m curious whether the author’s personal background influenced this setting or if it was a choice to evoke a certain atmosphere.
