dphilton 's review for:

The Dinner by Herman Koch
3.0


Dark, hazy portrait of two snarky ultra-rich couples not really talking about the criminal conspiracy shared by their sons. Takes place over the course of a single meal. Memorable images and exchanges abound. Reliability of the narrator shifts throughout making it hard to get a real read on any of the characters. Nicely done. Don't read this if you want uplifting, clarity, and likability.
