Review:

this one is called la noia in Italian. Usual enigmatic heroine/sex object who answers every question 
like a hemingway character, briefly and ambiguosly, not exactly lying but not making things clear.
silly but very readable. the women also drive the men mad in moravia's depravias universe. the men 
think in the first person and are full of ennui and glances at women's weewees and busts.
a hint of the paedo in this one. i am sure this alberto was a dirty pervert.
