Perfume: The Story of a Murderer
by Patrick Süskind
Quite easily the most unique book I've ever read. Perfume is indeed the story of a murderer but much more importantly, the story of a man's (if he can be called a man at all) spiritual, romantic, erotic infatuation with odour. Suskind opens up a new sensory dimension to his readers, with the conventional perceiving organs taking a radical back seat to the only one that matters for Grenouille- the nose. Dazzlingly intense, almost to a ludicrous degree, Suskind succeeded in making me feel one part genuinely repulsed and one part intrigued by the abomination that is Grenouille. You'll be smelling things a little more closely after finishing this book.
