Canto di pietra

The book weaves a bleak dystopian world with fantastical touches. I wonder what motivated the author to combine these genres in such a way.

Some sections felt contemplative and slow, which made me question whether that was intentional to deepen the themes or a pacing choice.

The title and recurring imagery evoke a sense of permanence and deterioration. I’m curious how much thought went into these motifs and their impact.
