Il teatro di Sabbath

Sabbath is morally ambiguous and often unlikeable, yet deeply human. I wonder what inspired the choice to make him so flawed and candid.

The novel tackles some taboo subjects and raw emotions, which made me think about how honesty in fiction affects us emotionally. Am I the only one who felt this conflicting pull?

The book's raw portrayal of aging and sexuality is intense. I'm curious what others took away about confronting mortality and personal fulfillment.
