It 's a strange novel, this one.
In the Prologue, which is part of the novel, is the same protagonist, who writes in first person narrative to explain the mechanism. A reporter in search of authenticity, he decided to keep a diary in which record what happens in his everyday life, a collection of material with the intention of using it in a novel. In the diary comes a bit 'all the daily news, a fantastic evolution of facts that have already happened, and lies, dreams, considerations, but each time the author is to report the truth by analyzing the reasons which led him to write falsehoods.
Central in the Diary, which is preparatory to the novel, the relationship between the protagonist and Baba, teenage daughter of his wife, including incestuous temptations and attempts to create a normal relationship within a family that has nothing to normal.
Has anyone considered that this novel, for conciseness of language, moral and artistic dryness, is the most successful of all the work of Moravia.
