Well, I regret having to inform you once again that loving one book by an author does not automatically lead to loving every book by an author, which is a truth I theoretically know, but seem to periodically forget for some reason. So "Cursed Bread". The premise according to the blurb: A whole village in early 20th century France goes insane and nobody knows why. Based on a true story. The end. The premise according to me: Horny woman has a crush on an affluent couple that just moved into her village. Things happen. Food preservatives are underresearched. People die. The end. Doesn't sound too enticing, does it? That's because it isn't. The book is overwritten and wordy in the worst possible way, it is difficult to read and even more difficult to stay focussed while doing so. More than once I simply forgot what was happening WHILE READING because I constantly found my thoughts drifting; my attention compromised. If there is a plot, I am yet to find it. Needless to say: This really wasn't my cup of tea. AT ALL. And still I can see how people could love this book. There is a certain way authors bend language to their will that some readers seem to really enjoy (I am looking at you, Lispector-fans), but I, for one, DO need some kind of plot, or info, or any content that goes beyond word choice and sentence structure. If you happen to have read "Cursed Bread", feel free to share your opinion. If you read it and, like me, didn't like it, do not let that dissuade you from picking up "Blue Ticket" though. Because that one was really, truly good. Klara over and out.
