papelgren 's review for:

The Mussel Feast by Birgit Vanderbeke
5.0

The violence in these pages is almost entirely subtext. It is sinister and unrelenting. The book might only be a little over 100 pages but it tells a fully separate story with what isn't said. What an incredible and inventive way to glimpse tyranny, through the eyes of someone who has reached their limit and is about to revolt against it to save themselves and possibly their family.
