Sphinx by Anne Garréta

2.0

This novel was advertised to me as a queer and LGBT story ”without gender” but sadly, I didn’t see it. I’m sure this book would be much better in French (If you have the skills, read the original!) as the whole French language is gendered, but this doesn’t really work in English. Only the main character’s love interest A*** was gender-neutral to me, but there was no way I could see the protagonist as anything else but male. The protagonist was the most pretentious little snob I have ever read about and quite frankly, I have never met or read about a woman/a nb person who would come even close in pretentiousness. It’s a bother, because I really wanted to like this book.
