Some talked about a brutal realism, some extolled my baroque imagination, some admired a female narrative that was gentle and embracing. In other words there were many positive judgments, but often in sharp contrast to one another, as if the reviewers hadn’t read the book that was in the bookstores but, rather, each had evoked a fantasy book fabricated from his own biases.

There's something admirable in Nino's ability to get it up for any woman in the world, don't you find? He is not predating on young school girls, he is schtupping the oldest, the ugliest women and gives them happiness, I just can't be mad at him. Like you don't try to capture this wild bird, you let it be free and bring happiness to the most undesired women, Elena!

This book is extremely basic so far, like a level of basic I'm not used to, not to sound like a snob or anything. Plain, basic, banal. Where the hell is all that beautiful writing people keep raving about in the reviews? Why the hell am I 1500 pages into this mess? Can someone please explain me to myself?
