A hilarious exploration of the relativism of identity from italian novelist and playwright luigi pirandello, winner of the 1934 nobel prize in literature. When vitangelo moscarda’s wife tells him his nose leans slightly to the right, his entire world swings off kilter. Loafing about, suddenly estranged from himself, he accosts friends, strangers, and passersby to look closely and confirm: am i not the self i thought i was? Wandering from mirror to mirror, moscarda embarks on a dizzying pursuit to see himself as others see him, to root out the stranger within.
