Ich hab's nicht gerafft.
Ich kann mir richtig gut vorstellen, wie dieses Buch im Deutschunterricht* auseinander genommen und bis zum geht nicht mehr interpretiert wird. Sowas lag mir nie, dafür bin ich einfach eine zu oberflächliche Leserin.

Der Sexismus und die Objektifizierung der Frauen, welche von den männlichen Figuren ausging, hat mich tierisch aufgeregt, aber ich glaube das war auch der Sinn...? Aber ich bin wie gesagt nicht immer mitgekommen, und das lag nur zum Teil daran, dass ich das Hörbuch gehört habe.

Aber hey, ich habe eine weitere Nobelpreisträgerin abhaken können und habe einen Ausflug aus meiner Komfortzone raus gemacht.

* so ein krasses Buch in der Schule lesen? Das wird doch nie passieren! Naja, also ich durfte in der Schule Das Parfum (Mord & Massenorgie), Räuberhände (Sex mit der Mutter des besten Freundes), Die Leiden des jungen Werther (Suizid) und Homo Faber (Sex mit der eigenen Tochter) lesen. Da reihen sich (Spoiler für die content warnings)

Vergewaltigung, häusliche Gewalt, versuchter Suizid und eine Essstörung

doch wunderbar ein.

Das Buch war so gar nicht, was ich erwartet hatte. Düster und verstörend, hat es mich trotzdem so sehr gepackt, dass ich es in einem Rutsch gelesen habe.
