how strange this book was, how unlovable it seems .. and yet i found myself hugging my copy tight to my chest once it was over. women as martyr, men as beast, movie magic and telephone dances. friends fusing. perverted and nationalistic and pious and humanistic. give a kiss to your copy when you’re done. read it as cohen says it, as “a sunstroke of a book”.
