Venduta (Perfect Paperback)

The poetic form adds such emotional depth—I'm curious if it was a conscious choice to make the story more visceral or if it evolved naturally during writing.

The minimalist style emphasizes the bleakness, but I wondered if it also risked making some moments feel too distant. What's been others' experience with that balance?

The issues of exploitation and resilience seem timeless, but I’d love to hear which themes resonated most and felt most urgent for others.
