Il colombre e altri cinquanta racconti

The novel's surreal and allegorical nature feels very deliberate, and I'm curious what motivated Buzzati to craft this enigmatic world.

Some sections felt introspective and slow, but maybe that was intentional to deepen the existential themes. What did others think about the rhythm?

The ending leaves a lot open to interpretation, and I’d love to hear different perspectives on what Buzzati might be saying about power or human nature.
