Il maratoneta

The story keeps you on edge by revealing details through the main character's eyes. I wonder what led to this choice and how it influenced the pacing.

The characters aren't clearly good or bad, which added depth but also made me question who to root for. Was this intentional to reflect real-life complexity?

The gritty urban backdrop feels almost like a character itself. I'm curious whether Goldman based it on personal experience or aimed to evoke a certain atmosphere.
