The Polyglot Lovers | 
pick💜 a shameless narrator—here we get three! Sex, power, bodies, loneliness, domination, the “perfect woman,” the egotistical male writer. Many Houellebecq references—“a creep, but an interesting creep.” Crooked smiles & downward looks. Off-kilter writing in smooth trans. from Swedish. Cynical & sharp, often cruel, hollow @ core. Takeaway=some male writers are smart, soulless creeps & female writers can be just as weirdly smart & creepy? Trans. 2019
