Laura Warholic: Or, the Sexual Intellectual by Alexander Theroux

5.0

Not so much a story as a rhetorical blizzard, a word drunk waltz through life and literature, Laura Warholic sold me on its greatness with the ending. While I sometimes found myself questioning as to why I was reading the near endless digressions from misogynists, anti-Semitics, and other undesirables, their vileness is more than matched by the stirring reflections on love and forgiveness offered throughout the book and peaking most noticeably in the ending, only to be tragically ripped away.

I went in expecting the sumptuousness of Darconville's Cat and got something much more sobering, serious, and heartbreaking.

[will probably write more in the future, not sure]
