"This is such a markedly wicked satire on the life of a tempted devotee. I can imagine that it was quite scandalous to many people when it debuted in 1965. I prefer Simon of the Desert’s austere qualities over the more outlandish subject matter and bold palette of later Buñuel. It does, however, have one of the strangest and most bombastic plot twists of all the Buñuels. I guarantee that you won’t see it coming, and it will definitely leave you scratching your head."

Rod is the best character by far (0 more)
The plot is a little obvious from the outset (0 more)
Terrifying political racial horror
As a woman of colour this is probably the most terrifying kind of horror to watch. It's political message is stark, and it's almost a satire of American society. The last scene of the main character's hands up is a grim look on reality where an US police officer is more likely to believe the white woman than the black man. Rod is by far the best character!

The most insane, ridiculous and hilarious book you'll read
Wow. Just wow. Reading this book will make you feel quite queer at the same time laugh your head off. It's not every day an African American author uses satire to recommend bringing back segregation and slavery. It is absolutely hilarious and a little bit borderline disturbing. Dickens is a ghetto in disrepair, and the narrator's idea of renovating the town and 'putting it on the map' is to change it sociologically. With insane consequences. Brilliant book, well deserved of the Man Booker Prize 2016.
