“Il Dottor Divago” from ‘Teatro 3’ by Stefano Benni - Audiobook (Italian)

“Il Dottor Divago” (“Doctor Digress”) is a theatre piece written by Stefano Benni. The scathing irony of this contemporary author, with his prolific literary output, remains one of the most critical voices on society and the contradictions of our time.

A man is about to perform his final act: suicide for a lost love. He lost that love because of a bad habit, a vice, a foolish thing — digressing. He can never seize the moment; his thoughts are always elsewhere, and even in life’s most intense moments he loses himself in ruminations and irritating wordplay. Out of shyness? Confusion? A wandering spirit?

The reading is in Italian.
