Review of 'Coming of Joachim Stiller (Valancourt International)' on 'Storygraph'
I’m a big fan of surrealism and weird fiction, so I was pretty disappointed here. The most interesting parts for me were the descriptions of historic Antwerp in 1957, and the protagonist’s recollections of being part of the resistance during WWII in his youth less than 12 years prior.
<spoiler> Also it turns out to be about Jesus, which is the biggest disappointment to me. Ugh. </spoiler>
