A Leopard-Skin Hat | Anne Serre

so-so

A narrator introduces a Narrator who introduces Fanny, who struggles with mental health and hides a girl with a leopard-skin hat inside her. That‘s what her best friend, the Narrator says. But we‘re warned by the narrator that this is just the Narrator‘s side of the story. So Fanny remains quite mysterious.
It‘s a weird, very French book, I think half of what Anne Serre means with it went over my head 🤷🏻‍♀️

Graywacke Perfect shirt. While i think I understand everything in your review, I‘m completely bewildered by it. 🙂 @TrishB & @KarenUK 🤣 3d

TrishB @KarenUK 👋 hi good to see you! 3d

TrishB @Graywacke exactly! 3d

Gleefulreader This is the most honest review and I totally love it. I felt the same way about this but came down mostly on the “liked it” side of it. Her books are very odd though. 3d

sarahbarnes I‘m somehow still intrigued? 😆 I‘m getting it from the library so the stakes are low. Great photo! 2d

BarbaraBB @sarahbarnes You‘ll like it I guess. It‘s a bit like Eurotrash. 2d

Suet624 i think my reading brain broke this morning and because of that I'm not sure I'm ready for this one. 😏 2d

BarbaraBB @Suet624 then don‘t! Find some uplifting stuff, we are in need of it, I totally get it! 2d

Eurotrash: Roman | Christian Kracht

so-so

A middle aged son drives his old and ill mother across Switzerland. They argue and confront the past. They‘re rich. Her father never stopped being an Nazi. The story is a mix of stream of consciousness, name dropping and little plot.
Not my favorite of the #InternationalBooker25 longlist but it has some good parts.

Suet624 Hmmm… okay, off the list. 2w
