Heartsnatcher by Boris Vian
3.0
3.4 stars
Some memorable sequences here, but due more to their perversity or absurdity than something more redeeming. The things that came out of this man's mind: the strange town where all the residents' shame gets absorbed by a man (Glory Hallelujah) dressed in rags who fishes junk and dead things out of the river with his teeth, blue slugs make you fly, and love is truly suffocating. Better for the parts than the whole. But the vicar's sermon... I did quite enjoy that.
