Mating: A Novel by Norman Rush
I was intrigued at the beginning, and grew more and more disturbed the further along I read. Not by the plot or the political/etc discussions or anything, but by the narrator, the main character.
Also, how the hell is this a love story?
A story detailing obsession and outrageous manipulation, yes, but love? I don’t think so.
I need to read a book that I like now. The last two came highly recommended, but sadly I pretty much hated them both.
Honestly, I thought this book, about an American woman who ends up living in a secluded social-experiment commune-esque village in Africa, would be right up my alley. Something I could relate to. Instead I can’t even relate to that. But then again, of course I cannot relate to her, I am not a quasi-psychotic narcissist.
Apparently it’s back to space aliens again.
