Veranderen: methode by Édouard Louis

3.0

Not sure what to say about this book. It was much easier to read than I had anticipated and I wolfed it down in quite a short time once I properly got into it, however I also didn't love it. There are larger and smaller things that annoy me about it. For example, it feels like either the author or the translators had to pay per punctuation character which I really don't care for (small), the author jumps around so much in time and style that it's really hard to get a sense of time and space (large). I also found him to be quite repetitive, though I do understand why that is. He does describe feelings that I remember having myself quite viscerally, quite a lot of them intact. However, because of the writing style I still found it hard to really empathize with him. I would characterize this book and this author as "Good but not for me"
