É pena que ainda só exista (pelo menos que eu saiba) este livro editado em Portugal. A sua escrita é extremamente interessante. Quero ler mais Nassar.

Logo quando avaliei o livro com 2 estrelas, pensei melhor. A história em si é maçante e o fato de não ter pontos finais só dificulta a leitura, por isso eu demorei um pouco mais do que gostaria.
Acontece que esse não é um livro para se interpretar literalmente. O autor vivia em meados de uma ditadura militar e o papel imposto para a mulher — até mesmo para os homens — era bem diferente. Eu estaria culpando um homem, construído socialmente por um sistema patriarcal, de não ter criado um relacionamento livre do machismo. É exigir algo inatingível, ilusório. Entretanto, gostei de como o Raduan criou metáforas para relacionar o casal ao sistema, à classe média, etc.

Acho a premissa e a ideia do livro boas, mas o desenvolvimento não me agradou. Pretendo ler mais alguma coisa dele, com certeza.

I'm sorry, but I couldn't suck the toes of a guy who doesn't use full stops.

Nothing much happens in this book, but what does happen is delicious.

This (had far too many) parentheses and I really didn't like"the pacing of this story" slow and confusing and the main male character annoyed me. That's basically how this whole story is told, and it was weird, annoying and 2 ⭐.
