Deniz Dibindeki Bar

The idea of a whimsical cafe beneath the ocean feels both surreal and cozy. I'm curious how Stefano Benni envisioned this place—was it inspired by childhood dreams or literary influences?

The book's playful tone made the fantastical aspects even more charming, but I wondered if the humor overshadowed some of the deeper themes for others.

Benni's unique voice is so rooted in Italian literature and humor — does this make the story resonate differently for readers familiar with that culture?
