Beati come rane su una foglia di ninfea

Robbins's writing style is so distinctive—I'm curious what influences or experiences shaped his approach to blending satire with deeper themes.

There were parts where the absurdity was so over-the-top that I wondered if Robbins was making a serious point or just poking fun at conventions.

The narrative jumps and quirky chapters kept me engaged but also confused at times. I wonder if this was planned from the start or evolved during writing.
