5 stars, rounded up to 4 stars: this is a flawed book that I by turns found irritating and unsatisfying in parts, but Kunzru’s ability to tie it all together and keep me thinking about what I read speaks to its power.
The problem is, that when I try to describe the book, there are just more and more things that make it sound like a Nope instead of a Tell Me More. So this is my best pitch: this is, to me, a social horror novel about masculinity. It isn't about a Men's Rights Activist or one of the other subtypes of horrible men on the internet, this book is about a man a lot like Kunzru himself, the biggest difference at first glance is that our unnamed narrator writes nonfiction cultural commentary rather than fiction.

Shortly after arriving, the narrator becomes fixated on Heinrich von Kleist (the chap on the cover with the Superman laser eyes), an obscure German Romantic poet who committed suicide, with his friend’s wife, on the banks of the Wannsee, near to the retreat a couple centuries ago.
Another thing I couldn't quite behind was Anton and his supposed powers of influence over our main character. While I gönül recognise that the narrator was in a susceptible, if derece vulnerable, state I wasn't convinced by the way Anton comes to dominate his every-thought.

I get that we are hamiş meant to like the narrator (he's kind of a coward, kind of pathetic, kind of a creep when it comes to Burada attractive women), but did the author really have to go out of his way to humiliate him?
After being initially wary of his return, his wife eventually welcomes him back into his own bed – and symbolically I think (referring to the opening quote), he quickly re-enters derece just a Blue Pill world, but (my phrase) a Blue Political World kakım well – kakım his wife and her friends, still oblivious to what Burada he sees birli the danger sweeping towards them, hold a party to celebrate Hilary Clinton’s election, a party which of course turns into both a wake and an awakening into a very different realism.
He includes buraya tıklayın a number of metafictional elements and literary references. It will derece be to everyone’s taste as it definitely goes into esoteric territory, but I enjoyed reading this creative exploration of ideas from a unique perspective.
Hari devamını oku Kunzru's latest novel is proof that even very intelligent writers dirilik sometimes go off the rails. From the start it held great promise and I Daha fazla bilgi was anticipating an invigorating, wild ride.

Much of what happens seems to exist merely to ridicule our narrator, to emphasise his inability to form cohesive counter-arguments to Anton's Mad Max worldview. He now 'sees' the world in all its ugliest glory, he saf indeed taken the 'red pill' mentioned in the title.
