A Private Venus | March Mystery Madness 2024

Pour a stiff one because I’m examining the Italian noir A Private Venus by Giorgio Scerbanenco.
The start of the Milano Quartet, this neo-noir is considered one of the high points of Italian mystery stories and helped spread the popularity of giallo novels.

I'm surprised he provided definitive answers...were they satisfying? Good video PN!

[@PeculiarNotions]

There are answers as far as the characters are concerned, but I doubt Scerbanenco means for the audience to take those as life lessons. Like most noir authors, his major point is that life is difficult and complex even in the best of circumstances. While the book is critical of its subject matter, it is also empathetic toward the individuals who are caught in them. Thanks for watching, Grammaticus.
