Big ol blood revenge soap opera. Why do I keep reading him? Bad boy behavior, perversions, misplaced pride, despair. Passionate (political, carnal, poetic) writing on pathetic, scarred characters. Ethnography prof suffering from “too many memories” (delusion), siblings emigrating from North Africa, Corsican nationalist in obsessive relationship. Distrust of the past. Annoying & amazing. P171 “L‘âme est perdue, on fait les gestes nécessaires.” 2008
Dilara So true about Jérôme Ferrari! TBH, I read À son image, and while I liked it well enough, I found it somewhat overwrought and overwritten. You have to be in the right mood to enjoy it! I'm not sure I'll read any more of his books any time soon... 7mo
