Anyway, so it struck me.
So, Ferrante Fever.
Yeah.
So it's about, our narrator is kind of going back over her parents, remembering her parents.
And it reads like memoir.
Yeah.
It reads like memoir, but it's fiction.
Although, I don't know, it feels like it's coming from somewhere.
The first chapter is all about the dad and the description of him is so relentlessly interesting.
Like, so awfully honest.
Like, she sees him, like, she sees every crack in his skin.
And, yes, she's a teenager who reads, and so basically he says, oh, posing with a book, are you?
Posing with a book.
Chucks books at her.
he um he reminded me of the dad in um friday night dinner but like the worst version because like he calls women like all healthy specimens all the time because all they're a pair of healthy specimens one o'clock he says that to his daughter to his daughters yeah it's so awful and then he keeps saying like don't talk to me about books till you've read mitre men you don't not seriously read mitre men and he's just like the word he's like the worst person you've ever come across
And the bit I wanted to describe, which, oh, just her writing.
So she's talking about how her and her sister learn to just go dead around him, basically.
Yeah.
And that, like, the mum is always saying, like, don't provoke him, don't provoke him.
But it's like, there's no, she learns very quickly that they have no effect on him.
