cheuksin's review against another edition

5.0

This is by no means a light read.
Some parts invoked a similar  level of discomfort as when I read Lolita
Other parts more like the colour purple

Love is never any better than the lover. Wicked people love wickedly, violent people love violently, weak people love weakly, stupid people love stupidly, but the love of a free man is never safe. There is no gift for the beloved. The lover alone possesses his gift of love. The loved one is shorn, neutralized, frozen in the glare of the lover’s inward eye.

This novel is written beautifully. What happens is not only described but imbedded in poetic phrases that leave you in a state of disbelief and shock.
