I don’t know how to describe how I feel about this book. I like Kureishi’s writing style personally, because it’s slightly poetic and hits hard. However, the way he writes women is so two dimensional and slightly misogynistic that it makes me upset.
The way he writes Jay (or himself) however, is so realistic and very believable, which is probably why I want to punch him in the face.
