I got second hand embarrassment watching this author carry on as if he were the cleverest boy in his writing class for 400 pages. Imagine that: having 400 pages to write a story and saying absolutely nothing of value. It’s almost impressive, but my amusement for this utter failure dimmed with the constant use of rape and antisemitism as a plot device. In the end, this book is yet another example of a male writer thinking he’s doing satire when really he’s just doing the thing he’s satirizing with an exaggerated accent.
