Moravia continually draws parallels between the modern lover, full of Freudian complexes (played by Molteni) and the passionate lover of yore (Ulysses and Petrarch), devoid of any self-doubt about his love, the object of his love, or of his right to be passionate in his claim over the object. I like this deeper tension within the novel.

An unexpected ending. This book really made me think about whether we understand any character that the narrator talks about in any book, and whether any narrator is a "reliable narrator."

The main character is full of contradictions. The writing style and the prose is very negative (cynical, pessimistic, etc.) The plot is very hard to figure out, so I am excited to read further. (I saw this book on-screen on Dev D, the Hindi movie. And I have been wanting to read it for a while now.)
