Yeah, it's a real page turner. Every time I try to put it down, I end up picking it back up and reading a few more chapters. I've read it twice before and I'm on my third read-through of it. There is actually some symbolism in the book which is odd given that it is a memoir, such as the repeated tiger imagery. And in another part:
>"[...] Oh, you noticed that? You can't stop looking at that painting once you start. That's Norman Rockwell's
Curiosity Shop.
"
>He walked to the painting that was hanging in the back of his room to the right of an aquarium, situated above his bed frame, that contained plants. "See how at first glance all it looks like is a girl buying some dolls from a shopkeeper? But
then
you notice how the dolls don't have doll faces; they have the face of the shopkeeper."
>"Oh, yeah... creepy..." The shopkeeper had a wrinkled face and gray hair that looked normal on him, but grotesque on the two baby dolls.
>"Yeah, if you're just glancing at that picture everything looks normal, but then, as you look closer and closer, you start to realize nothing's the way it should be. It's funny; I feel like every time I look at it I find something new that's not quite right."
The painting symbolizes Peter's life with eerie perfection, and foreshadows future revelations about Peter's past.

I found an English translation of it too, they changed the title to "The She-Devils" and Anglicized the authors name to Peter Lewys if anyone wants to check it out. I ordered it, along with Lamb by Bonnie Nadzam.
Would any of you guys like to form a book club?
General threads aren't allowed last time I checked, so we could host it on /lounge/ or I could make a matrix group chat. We could call it "The Lolibrary" (loli + library).
