A review by frasersimons
Elizabeth Finch by Julian Barnes
Did not finish book. Stopped at 51%.
I absolutely disappeared for book 1 of this. About an, albeit fairly annoying mid-life crisis sort of guy, who takes a class and meets the titular character, and subsequently pens his thoughts and feelings about her for the entirety of their relationship.
The second part was why I stopped reading. It’s interminable. It is literally a paper on a peculiarity Finch brought up in class, and so digresses into the most boring story I have ever encountered. Even if I were interested in the history being discussed, the voice crafted for the essay is so uninteresting—especially when contrasted to the first part.
What an absolute shame. But I literally fell asleep. It’s over.
