This small book may be 227 pages, but it has short chapters and very spare writing. Yet despite the spare writing it is very...moody and descriptive. Gothic horror? Mystery? Opium-induced hallucination? The unnamed narrator has fallen in love with Justine, whose portrait hangs in his home. Then he sees her at his mother's funeral. Finally finding her, the story gets creepier and odder, with hints of Oscar Wilde and (apparently) Marquis de Sade, who's book Justine is mentioned. Who is Justine? And--is she even real? sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

The tale of a man's obsession with a woman, or is it two women? Justine has a twin sister, and the narrator is increasingly unsure as to the real identity of the woman he desires. Alluding to the Marquis de Sade's work of the same name, the novel explores the line between imagination and reality. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

I liked it. An easy read. Pretty weird. I'm not sure what genre this belongs in. ( )
