The essay examines the hybrid elements of this narrative form, which sways between fiction and nonfiction, linking the spatial pursuit of the “movable horizon” with a turn back in time, aimed at breaking the usual perception of temporality. Orizzonte mobile is a “landscape tale” that interweaves travel and writing to define an original poetics of space.
