The Secret Books by Marcel Theroux

4.0

Reality is a collection of stories which humanity has determined to be best suited for its purposes. Theroux takes a playful look at this concept and comes to the conclusion that truth is purely subjective and oftentimes irrelevant. Theroux’s use of anachronisms serves two purposes: it’s fun, and it reminds us that even half truths and ridiculousness do not mean a story warrants dismissal. This novel won’t be for everyone, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
