The novel “Round” is based on conversations between different people—whether it’s interviews, interrogations by an investigator, sessions with a psychoanalyst, testimony in a courtroom, or a rap battle. These conversations make it possible to see a person in interaction with others, with the past, and with himself.
The author gives old film footage color, makes worn-out problems sharp and large, and fills human destinies with passion—and perhaps even forgiveness.
This “optical novel” is about the power of will and the significance of a word, but above all—it’s about love.
