Malerba's Il pianeta azzurro is a rich text with a strong ethical and political message. One of its three narrating voices, L’autore, is a sort of Everyman, a synecdoche for the writer and his readers. By attributing to L’autore well-known aspects of his own private life, Malerba involves himself personally in the text, taking responsibility for its message and partial responsibility for the degradation that during his lifetime overtook Italian life, politics, and its natural landscape. All narrating voices write in the first person, using a technique, the ‘exterior monologue,’ designed to cause readers to identify with each of them. Identification is intensified when one of the voices steals the identities of the other two (and, by extension, Malerba's and the reader's). The unfolding of the novel's complex plot is informed by the non-chronological subjectivity of mnesic time. Therefore, it is grounded in reality, but makes no pretense of objectivity. Indeed, the ‘verisimilar’ plot is more ‘real’ than the implausible reality it recounts.

马勒巴的《Il pianeta azzurro》是一本带有强烈的道德和政治信息的丰富文字。L'autore是其三种叙述性声音之一，是一种“普通人”，是作家和他的读者的合影。通过将L'autore的私人生活归因于他的私人生活，Malerba亲自参与到案文中，对其信息负有责任，并对在其一生中超越意大利生活，政治及其自然风光的退化负有部分责任。所有叙述性声音都是使用“外部独白”技术以第一人称写成的，这种技术旨在使读者与每个人识别。当其中一种声音窃取了其他两种声音的身份时，身份识别就被加强了（进而扩展为Malerba和读者的身份）。小说的展开” 复杂的情节是由记忆时间的非时间主观性决定的。因此，它立足于现实，却不装任何客观性。实际上，“非常相似”的情节比它所描述的令人难以置信的现实更为“真实”。
