One, None, and One Hundred Thousand: A Novel of Life, Love, and Loss

Jimi B: This is a very interesting read and really makes you look in the mirror at yourself. Still trying to figure out if I have lost my mind, or found it.

Amazon Customer: There were areas of this book that were barely readable and the grammar and wording was awkward. Reading this was like trudging through mud I couldn’t finish it I gave up. I want to blame the translator but can’t rule out that the author just has a confusing writing style.

Ayusman: This is a novel by a noble laureate. Hence, it does not need recommendation. But this is not meant for light reads. Some readers may find it rather boring.

Cynthia Sue Larson: The masterpiece that is Luigi Pirandello's "One, None, and a Hundred Thousand" is at first glance the story of a man viewed by his friends and family to have gone mad, as he systematically does his best to destroy each and every one of his identifiable personas.

The genius of this book is the way it brings us inside the mind of it's main character, an Italian man named Vitangelo, who becomes obsessed with the notion that his version(s) and understanding of himself are not at all the same as the personas that others believe him to be--nor are they likely who he thinks them to be. In any gathering of two people A and B, for example, we will at minimum have four definitive personas present: the person A believes A to be, the person A believes B to be, the person B believes A to be, and the person B believes B to be. In truth, there are far more likely a great deal more personas present even than that, as this fascinating novel vividly describes.

craig Philip wilson: The Idea that someone can look at you and see a completely different person from the person you see in the mirror was something Ive found myself thinking about quite frequently. I'd always act differently around different people because I knew that people come to different conclusions from the same statements and I didn't like it when someone would expect a different reaction from me in the same situation.

So when I heard about the concept of the story I knew I needed to read it.

I've only really read about 8 books full through in my life and the way this book is written on top of the story is one of the things I found amazing. Having been started to be written sometime in 1970s and Translated from Italian I believe I expected it to be odd. The writing is far different from other books I've read and I love it.
