Bom dia, Meia-Noite

The novel vividly captures loneliness, but I wonder what inspired Rhys to focus so intensely on internal solitude rather than external events.

The slower sections felt reflective and immersive, but I’m curious if Rhys aimed for that meditative rhythm or if it was a necessity of the story.

The city feels like a character itself—how much of that was deliberate world-building versus a reflection of the protagonist's mind?
