My dear pet. Reyneveld M.L.

“My dear pet” - this begins the monologue of the accused before the court, but he turns to his beloved. He is 49, she is 14.

This story was told by a veterinarian, a “minor gender”, obsessed with the farmer’s daughter. She has wheat-white hair and black imagination, like resin. The relationship between them is similar to the relationship of the predator and his victim, to love without love. She is a sweet animal for him, he is the only person who understands her.

This is a dark, seething stream of thoughts, with chapters without a single rupture of the line and winding sentences. Saypoint is one of the strengths of this novel. Of course, as in the case of Lolita Nabokov, here we are dealing with a very unreliable storyteller.
