La prosa di Moravia provoca continui orgasmi.

Questa è la mia recensione per temperamente.it: Una volta mi è stato detto che La noia è un libro pesante, senza dubbio più de Gli indifferenti e di altre opere moraviane. Ebbene, non posso che dissentire con chi fece quell’affermazione. “Pesante”, come intendo io questo termine, non lo è affatto: argomento molto impegnativo e non certo da libro harmony (ma quando mai un’opera di Moravia – o di qualsiasi altro Autore con l’iniziale maiuscola – è stata tale?), prosa, per dirlo con dei superlativi, elegantissima, scorrevolissima, chiarissima.

In the quest to escape the monotonous grip of boredom, one must strive for transcendence. But how can we break free from nothingness? Our primal impulses often serve as our only guide, and unfortunately, they tend to lean towards the carnal side. Those who seek purpose through sexual encounters often find that it's only a fleeting solution, and they are left feeling unfulfilled and uninspired. Alberto Moravia's masterful novel delves deep into this cycle of ennui and transcendence through the life of a protagonist who grapples with the futility of his existence. With its succinct prose and insightful narrative, the book serves as a powerful reminder of the human struggle to find meaning in a world devoid of it.
