The Woman and the Ape

Journal Entry 1 by anathema-device from Wien Bezirk 20 - Brigittenau, Wien Austria on Wednesday, November 14, 2018
Found this in the book phone booth at the local teacher's college. We've met before (albeit in German), and/but after my mind-bending experience with Miss Smilla, I'll give the ape another chance.
ATTENTION: SPOILER ALERT!
This was... interesting. From the moment the ape actually speaks I had problems adjusting to what I perceived as a more and more prominent fantasy element. But this is Peter Høeg, and I had already developed a suspicion that his books usually do more than just one thing, so I read on... and was more than rewarded by a very interesting (and at this point in the plot very satisfying) plot twist. And yes, this book works on several levels, and very visibly so. I originally wanted to re-release it, but now I'll have to keep it next to The Man I Became for obvious reasons.
**** Permanent Collection ****
