The Lamentations of Zeno: A Novel | Ilija Trojanow

pan

The only reason I finished was it was small and I was using for #cli-fi
I don‘t know whether it‘s the translation or just a terrible book. There were about 10 pages of important stuff about climate change and impact on the environment and humans etc (including a bit with penguins). But otherwise......nope.

Seriously 😐😐 second time in less than 50 pages vulva has been used in a totally cringeworthy way.
Struggling with this book, but it‘s small and I‘m going to finish!!

MicheleinPhilly Dude... 5y

TrishB @squirrelbrain @OrangeMooseReads @rretzler @MicheleinPhilly just so you can feel as queasy as me the other said ‘ her vulva gently vaulted‘ ....... 5y

MicheleinPhilly 🤯 5y

OrangeMooseReads @TrishB 🤢 5y

squirrelbrain Double ewww! 5y

Cinfhen I‘m hoping this is just terrible case of poor translation 🤪 5y

TrishB @Cinfhen I‘m hoping so, but feeling not.... 5y

jb72 It‘s terrible when you just don‘t want to hear certain words. Currently the audiobook I‘m listening to keeps using the words panties over and over again. 5y

TrishB @jb72 it was the horrible cringeworthy use of it too! Panties doesn‘t have a good vibe either! 5y

BookwormM I hate the word panties and will add titties to the list 🤣🤣 5y

Kalalalatja 🤯🤯🤯 I can‘t even 5y

Avanders 😂😂 5y

LeahBergen 🤢 🤢 🤢 5y

TrishB @BookwormM 😱😱 yep! 5y

TrishB @Kalalalatja @Avanders @LeahBergen I think I did say excuse me very loudly when I read it! 5y

Ruthiella Reminds me of Back to Blood by Tom Wolfe where he used the term “mons veneris” about 100 times too many.🤭 5y

CarolynM Yuck! 5y

TrishB @Ruthiella ☹️☹️ 5y

TrishB @CarolynM exactly 😁 5y

Caroline2 😆 what the....????? 5y

Lindy At least he didn‘t use the c word. 😆 5y

TrishB @Caroline2 don‘t worry- I won‘t make you read it 😁😁 5y

TrishB @Lindy small mercies 😊 5y

After finishing the Sophie School Biography yesterday (review will follow), I started Ilija Trojanows novel. It's supposedly a quick read.

Chosen by my daughter 😀

Michelle_mck Interested to see what you think 8y

TrishB @Michelle_mck My daughter asked me to buy it for her yesterday as she loves geography/environmental stuff. I'll have to wait til she's read it! 8y

Michelle_mck I finished it a few weeks ago - it's an interesting read (edited) 8y

The Lamentations of Zeno: A Novel | Ilija Trojanow

so-so

This was an interesting book, Zeno is a scientist who works on an Antarctic Cruise ship, he becomes increasingly distressed for the fate of the glaciers because of mans treatment of the earth... from here the narrative unfolds in a way I have never experienced before. This is translated from the German though the author is not a native speaker. It's interbank complex for a relatively short book #LRC15 #litsyreadingchallenge #readingaroundtheworld

minkyb Great review when limited to 451 characters! 8y
