The Man Who Saw Everything by Deborah Levy

challenging emotional mysterious

4.5

Deborah Levy continues to astonish me with her literary prowess. What at first seems like a fairly simple plot devolves into a series of unfolding revelations for both the protagonist, Saul, and the reader. Levy knows just how much to give and just how much to withhold, allowing the reader to fall into the story and uncover its mysteries and warped memories alongside Saul. Saul is both unreliable and unlikable, yet so deeply relatable, which is what keeps The Man Who Saw Everything so engaging. Levy has long been solidified as one of my favorite authors, and I can only add this novel to the list of evidence.
