About this listen

In "Whole Fragments," Luca Mazzotti presents a masterfully crafted collection of twenty micro-stories, each precisely one thousand words, that traverse the landscape of human experience through an experimental lens. From intimate portraits of childhood pets to philosophical meditations on time and loneliness, from cemetery wanderings to imaginative reanimations of Degas paintings, these stories challenge traditional narrative boundaries while remaining deeply accessible. Mazzotti's fragments—including tales of failed romance, creative resilience, and social observation—are deliberately constructed "in the key of deletion," stripped to their essential elements while maintaining their power to resonate.

Writing at the intersection of traditional literary depth and contemporary brevity, Mazzotti invites listeners to participate in the meaning-making process, offering not complete narratives but rather evocative impressions that light up the imagination. The result is a collection that serves as both a stylistic experiment and a reflection of modern reading habits, presenting what the author calls "angles and rough surfaces" rather than "smooth curves and soft landings."
