A review by alexsiddall
Grey Souls by Philippe Claudel
2.0
Mixed feelings about this book. Some elegant writing and telling insights, but I found it irritating and clunky in other ways. There are no characters, only caricatures: not a human contradiction in sight. It is interestingly structured but the whole thing feels completely artificial. I found it very unsatisfying. 'A masterpiece'? My arseterpiece.
