Das Leben des Vernon Subutex 1 by Virginie Despentes

martinza's review

Habe es zur Hälfte geschafft. Das Buch besteht aus einer Aneinanderreihung von inneren Monologen von Arschlöchern. Kein Charakter hatte bis jetzt eine positive Eigenschaft. Dadurch fehlt für mich Menschlichkeit völlig in dem Buch. Die Charaktere erscheinen mir auch alle sehr klischeehaft. Die Darstellung der weiblichen Charaktere erscheint mir misogyn, auch wenn die Darstellung in ihren eigenen inneren Monologen transportiert ist. Das Arschlöcher rassistische unf frauenfeindliche Dinge denken wird auch gerne genutzt, um diese Dinge noch mal in Buch aufzuschreiben.

Die ganze Negativität ist mir richtig aufs Gemüt geschlagen
