Contempt by Alberto Moravia

dark emotional reflective sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

This one is a slow burn - the brilliant second half is worth the getting through the first, and the back third really is incredible.
