A review by msand3
Honorine (Dodo Press) by Honoré de Balzac

3.0

Perhaps the greatest Wing Man tale ever written. The story-within-a-story-within-a-story offers a complex way of understanding audience, as we see Honorie through the eyes of a not-so-objective voice who must play so many roles to obtain the "truth" that he ultimately suppresses the own truth in his heart. It's not a top-tier Balzac, but it does make for an enjoyable enough read.
