Il mio splendido migliore amico

Howard’s reimagining adds a gothic edge to the classic tale, but I wonder what motivated her to take this particular approach.

The way the characters grapple with who they are in a world of magic and deception really resonated with me. Was that a conscious focus in the writing?

The magic isn’t just for spectacle; it seems tied to the characters’ internal journeys. I’m curious whether this was something the author planned from the start.
