bjr2022 's review for:
The Pigeon
by Patrick Süskind
Perfection. The story, the emotional/psychological journey, the observations, the writing, the writing, the writing.
For writers, this is a masterclass in observation and reporting like a poet. For readers, this is a flawless emotional journey.
At only 115 pages, it is full-bodied, funny, tumultuous, profound, and readable in one sitting. But I knew from the first page that I wanted this to last. So for the first day, I rationed it out in teaspoons. The second day, I could not hold back and finished it in a binge.
