    I have found it obvious, the narrative mode did not seduce me in the least and it gets worse towards the end.
    Overall: a great disappointment.
    Left it on a platform' seat at borough station for someone else to enjoy it.

Cover of The Handmaid's Tale
Cover of Counter-Clock World
Cover of Intimacies
  • 125 pages of truly intellectual strain.
    if you make it through the sometimes tangled prose of bersani this book makes a wonderful challenging reading with remarkable ideas on new forms of intimacy.
    quite mindblowing, literally.

    “Does the white man understand our custom about land?” “How can he when he does not even speak our tongue? But he says that our customs are bad; and our own brothers who have taken up his religion also say that our customs are bad. How do you think we can fight when our own brothers have turned against us? The white man is very clever. He came quietly and peaceably with his religion. We were amused at his foolishness and allowed him to stay. Now he has won our brothers, and our clan can no longer act like one.

    ...so stevenson never tells of the type of sinful and evil acts hyde would take pleasure in and it's left to the reader to explore the depth of human depravity.
    however, in my opinion, no other book brilliantly captures the double nature of the english: jekyll-like, monday to friday from 9 to 5, and after a good number of pints of beer, hyde-like from 5pm onwards any weekdays and weekends.
    a thoroughly enjoyable reading experience.
