Short Circuit
“Do you know the line, ‘You bear grudges and I’m never going to forget that’?” Page 67.
Deceptively short novel, originally in German. Translated. Twisted, with a surreal sense of timing. Super tightly plotted, and enviable prose, lightly styled, concise in a manner I can only admire.
Fun.
Saw it coming but not really. If only life was like literature and made sense at the end.
Good story telling even better considering it’s in translation.
