Some very, very good, taughtly written pieces, and the ending is a sharp twist of the knife. At the same time there some other parts that lag behind, with some characters that could have used a little bit of additional development. ( ) Oh wow, a dark tale this. All the while I was reading this my recall was always of scenes at night time or dusk even though I am sure bits of were in the daytime. A strong sense of menace and danger stalks every page. Unease will be your companion, you will not know what is true and what isn’t and the end will chill you to the core. Not for the faint hearted but satisfaction rewards the brave. Bleck. Not at all what I expected. Stereotypes abound -- gender, race, class, you name it. I didn't like the implications of women as victims, our sexuality as vulnerability, our independence as inherently risky. After the ending I was struck by the thought that Susanna Moore had merely written an updated, quasi-feminist Looking for Mr. Goodbar. An "erotic thriller" that's a real page-turner, certainly; but, the racism and misogyny on top of the ending made In the Cut an unsatisfying experience for this reader. 2.5 stars
A novel of breathtaking condescension and snobbism trying to pass itself off as an ironic serial-killer thriller. Ingår i förlagsserien
A stunning, erotic thriller by the bestselling author of Whiteness of Bones. Following the gruesome murder of a young woman in her neighborhood, a self-determined woman living in New York City--as if to test the limits of her own safety--propels herself into an impossibly risky sexual liaison. Soon she grows increasingly wary about the motives of every man with whom she has contact--and about her own. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
