I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman
1.0

Very drawn on slow and boring book  that could have been a short story to the same effect. 
It's supposed to be philosophical I think but really didn't hit the mark as I had no idea what the point was supposed to be. I wish I didn't finish but I was hopeful maybe there would be something enlightening at the end. 

The afterword was all I needed to read and wish I hadn't wasted my time. 

Definitely not for me. Kind of like when you go to the museum and see a deconstructed BBQ on the floor and it's supposed to be modern art that attracts crowds of pretenti us people who claim they are more cultured or well read.
