grisostomo_de_las_ovejas 's review for:
The Fox Was Ever the Hunter
by Herta Müller
To steal an Amazon reviewer's words, the plot of this book can be said to encroach more than it can be said to grow linearly. For 100+ pages of the 230 page book, the reader has no sense that there is a plot. In fact, they're so caught up ping-ponging between short scenes featuring a cast of a half dozen minor characters and vignettes about the town the story takes place in, that they grasp around for orientation that doesn't come until much later.
Despite some beautifully poetic writing, the lack of path in this book sunk it for me. I'm glad I made it through, but I can't think of a single person I know whom I'd recommend this to (even if I'd read it again given the chance to remake my choice).
