ClareR (5726 KP) rated The Man Who Saw Everything in Books
Oct 28, 2021
This is a book where time, sexuality and personality are all malleable and difficult to pin down - all at the same time. You don’t know what’s real, and what’s in the imagination. Past and present are portrayed not just in the ages of the main character, but also in the former East and West Germany and the old and new (post-Brexit) Europe.
I don’t think I’ll ever be able to properly explain this - even if I tried. I do know, however, that I really liked it.
