Lobster watches a woman eat his father. He falls in love. We've all been there. Unfortunately, the rather famously known ship he's on goes down after getting hit by an iceberg, and Lobster loses his love to the rescue boats. What follows is an odyssey of obsession, a search for companionship, and a one-man lobster cult. Inspiring and unsettling. 10/10

This novella starts out with a literal bang: A sentient lobster and the lady who ate his dad, *ahem* "know each other in the biblical way" onboard the sinking Titanic. Yes, THAT Titanic, though Jack and Rose this is decidedly NOT.
Somehow it only gets weirder and more uncomfortable from there.
A beautifully-written, melancholic, surreal fable that I am pretty sure I.... enjoyed... is the wrong word. This book is an EXPERIENCE. That being said, I am not sure The French™️ should be allowed to write fiction. I will however, be adding this to my Staff Picks at work.
Get this book for the friend who insists they read "everything." Either you'll call their bluff, or you will, to paraphrase a review quote on the back cover, fill the "lobster-shaped hole" in their life.

A story of a woman grapping with suicidal thoughts and sexual desire, a Lobster who became more than hevwas meant to be, grpoied with wants he could never again fulfill torn between who he was and what called to him, and a man trying to make something of himself. Honetsly im dthe keast sure what to make of Jules and his ending, seemed almost out of nowhere. Maybe something about cibtinuing the cycle or sth idk
Also i knew there'll be lobste sex but I wasn't prepared for it to be in the first ten pages lmao
