Piranesi

I really liked Piranesi. I loved the idea of this house and the statues. It reminded me of Plato’s story and I thought that made it really smart. Especially how the longer he stayed in the House he would lose his memory and think that that’s the world and how the statues were the image of the real things. Also I found it interesting that there was some mystery in it and it made it really intriguing and easy to read for me. I would totally recommend it, it gave me a great vibe💜

Beautifully written. And the story spectacularly holds up, through surprises and all - brilliant, original and entrancing.

- mum’s comments: It is so generous - no vengeance, spite, despair - despite it all, he has such a kind disposition, such space and capacity for reflection, gifting the benefit of the doubt, and his own very methodological processing.
