如果學校指定的讀物能包含這樣的書

不知道該有多好
就是這本“That Awful Mess on Via Merulana by Carlo Emilio Gadda “

本人無推薦文句，卡爾維諾說了算。
“In 1946, when he started That Awful Mess on Via Merulana,
Carlo Emilio Gadda intended to write not only a murder novel,
but a philosophical novel as well.
The murder story was inspired by a crime
that had recently been committed in Rome.
The philosophical inquiry was based on a concept announced at the novel’s very outset:
nothing can ever he explained if we confine ourselves to seeking one cause for every effect.
Every effect is determined by multiple causes, each of which has still other, numerous causes behind it.
Every event, a crime for example, is like a vortex where various streams converge, each moved by heterogeneous impulses,
none of which can be overlooked in the search for the truth.“
