Ludovico would not have been possible if the author had not studied similar characters for many years before undertaking the work of his novel.At first, the reader may think that Ludovico is a character who intends to show us his limited and boring world, but as the story progresses, we discover a primary and elementary orb that does not lack its interpretations, its feelings, its compassion, and its passions. However, the reader faces the great and painful paradox of this novel, which Ludovico suffers and tells unconsciously. The drama of his life, restricted by his poor comprehension, his disobedient vision, and his clumsy ear, condemns him to a fractional understanding that he tries to fill with his fantasy. The story of the one who carries within him an unopened irony and whose simplicity leads us unexpectedly to the borders of laughter and crying.
