A fascinating life and a fascinating approach to sharing it. Comotto has written a very unique political biography. It is similar in certain ways to the book Tuesdays with Morrie, in which a younger acolyte makes numerous visits to a respected older thinker and records what happens. In this case, there is a goal of telling the full story of Octavio Alberola's life, but it is presented in the context of those conversations, with Alberola sharing his thoughts about a wide variety of subjects, from physics to art to love. It is a form of biographical storytelling, with Alberola narrating passages, Comotto filling in blank spots himself or with other primary sources, and all of it interspersed with their present-day exchanges. A truly enjoyable read.
