two skinned alive characters

The narrative focuses on two torn characters, skinned alive, marked by traumatic events, whose paths intersect from adolescence to adulthood. Their scars ooze and mingle throughout the novel.
I enjoyed the chapters on mathematical metaphors Mattia, a reflection perhaps of the scientific background of the author.
The style is direct, cruel and straightforward, even poetic, dotted with realistic metaphors; the temporal and narrative ellipses page to page reinforce the difficulty of being in the world and a certain lack of communication. Preserved from any form of pathos, the reader is often shaken, blown, stunned by the abrupt end of the chapters.
