Despite his fragmented narrative writing that resembles a sequence of shots, with which the reader is forced to re-read all the time, not to run with the narration to the end, his style leaves the desired effect on the reader's soul and imagination: life is not a smooth running river, but rather filled with soot, dirt, swamps, and steps Escape either to the gallows, or the sun.
