| Incredibly literary and moving - I agree with the Parul Seghal review, the book is very startling and surprising, and Pelicot's bravery is matched by her sense of narrative. Harrowing material, difficult to read at times, and a very unique result. ...more | |

| Very dark take on Faust - a bit unlike most of his work, w/ the sociopathy and narcissism of the lead, but the last 150 pages really hammer in what a fascinating project this is, and the very ending is masterful. It has more impact if you've read the ...more | |
