pickThe protagonist in “The Painter” is somewhat different from many other Heller novels. I very much enjoyed his complexity. The book made me feel, in some ways, similar to how I felt reading “The River”.
NatalieR So far, this is my favorite Heller novel. ❤️ 2mo
Pedrocamacho Oh man, @NatalieR! As you might have guessed, I was trying to decide between this one and “The River”! I felt for Jim, even though his violence was always so close to the surface… (edited) 2mo
NatalieR @Pedrocamacho Yes, I figured. 😅 I really want to reread The River. It‘s the only one I listened to on audio and it just wasn‘t the same experience I‘ve had with reading his physical books. The Painter has stuck with me. 2mo
