The Electric Fish
Title of the original version reviewed: «Il pesce elettrico»
AI Translation Notice: This review was translated from the original Italian using artificial intelligence. Book quotes and excerpts are translated interpretations and will not match the author's original English phrasing or official published translations.
The book recounts the journey of three journalists to Turkey to meet a friend of theirs, imprisoned in an asylum by the authorities for being a friend of the Kurds, who is about to be released.
It is unclear whether it is an introspective tale (a search for oneself), a portrait of Turkey, or a detective story.
In truth, it is a dull book, poor in its descriptions and mediocre in its dialogue.
I was unable to finish it.
