Foe by J.M. Coetzee
5.0

Ok this was brilliant. I really really HATE Robinson Crusoe. But that's by the by because this is brilliant. When it started I wasn't convinced but as it developed it just got better and better and more intricate.

It's about language, and telling stories and power. And memory and gender and race. It's a short little piece that's perfectly put together. There's so much to unpack here. I'll be keeping this one to mull over again.
