pinustri's review against another edition

reflective medium-paced

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

Corto pero potente. Habla de muchas cosas, en ningún momento del amor o de la pasión. Ayer estuve mala y me lo tomé como una excusa para descansar del TFG y de obligaciones varias. No me apetecía leer nada difícil y pensé que este librito sería algo fácil para pasar el tiempo. No lo es. En 100 y pico páginas Duras habla de salud mental, de escapar de casa, de familias disfucionales, de familia que no te quiere… todo esto mezclando el presente con el pasado, sin emoción, impersonal. En mi opinión, no es un libro impresionante ni que se vaya a quedar en mi mente.

„Бесмртност је умрла с њим. И тако се свет сада кретао лишен тог надахнутог тела, и те надахнутости. Потпуно смо се преварили. Грешка је завладала целим свемиром, скандал.”

Мислим да још нисам дорасла овом делу. Толико специфичан стил, толико циљане недовршености испод које се налази суштина. Препознајем то, али још увек не разумем довољно добро. Дефинитивно ћу се вратити овој књизи за неколико година.
