Looking at himself in the mirror every morning, Vitangelo Moscarda, known as Gengè, observes a detail he had never noticed before: his nose slopes to the right. Suddenly, he feels split into another self, known only through the gaze of others.
Things then become complicated: Moscarda is no longer dealing with just one stranger, but with a hundred thousand strangers who coexist within him, according to the reality that others give him. In escaping his hundred thousand realities, Gengè finds himself denying even himself. With Uno, nessuno e centomila , his last novel (1925), Pirandello takes the process of breaking down the characters in his fiction to the extreme.
