Gog

The narrative follows Goggins, a wealthy American on a relentless quest for knowledge and novelty, whose journey takes him to meet a diverse array of influential figures, including Freud, Edison, and Lenin. Years later, confined to an asylum, he shares his extensive notes documenting these encounters. Through approximately ninety entries, the book explores the eccentricities of both celebrated geniuses and obscure idealists, all while showcasing Papini's anarchic humor that highlights the peculiarities of humanity and the complexities of modern life.
