Gott hassen by Jenny Hval

elinorb's review against another edition

Not really my thing. I don't like stream of consciousness and it just felt like too much of an effort to get through. We get it. She hates.

strangest book i've ever read, less of a novel and more of a literary art installation valeria solanas black metal manifesto

hval gets real visceral with the description of substances. this book would benefit from a jodorowsky-esque film adaptation. i'm talking Norwegian holy mountain

It was ok enough to finish but felt like a grind to do so. The angst and darkness that the author seemed to want to convey is there but just felt like the entire plot. She hates. I had no clue what I was getting into with the initial description. Maybe it was too deep for me who knows.

Couldn't get into it. Maybe a translation but nothing was happening and 45 min into the audiobook I didn't feel a grasp on any character. Done trying.
