Is it possible to remain ourselves in a context that tries to shape us according to its needs? It is the existential question that lies at the heart of the novel It was all so simple – Like being a lophiformfirst work by Alberto Bolognesi, corporate lawyer and now writer, published by the Albatros publishing group.
The novel offers an interesting reflection on the transformation of Bruno, a reserved and disillusioned lawyer, dragged into a political world dominated by appearances and superficiality. The narrative leads through a surreal journey in which a young colleague of Bruno sees him as the new face needed by politics, giving life to a bold experiment: transforming an ordinary man into the Prime Minister.
The protagonist’s story embodies the nostalgic melancholy of those who, despite wanting to understand, find themselves leading an unexpected change. A tragicomic parable that invites us to reflect on the art of transformation and the challenges of identity in an ever-changing world.
