Book Reviews of Lila Says: A Novel
Book Review: Titillating stream-of-consciousness
Summary: 5 Stars
Lila Says is about a young Middle Eastern man's experiences in the slums outside Paris. He narrates his story with a young European woman named Lila. Lila's new in the neighborhood, and Chimo sees her as unique because she only talks to him rather than any other guys in the area.
The story is written in a stream-of-consciousness style (think Mrs. Dalloway), so if you're into that, you should definitely read this one. Chimo takes us into the slums and lives of people you would probably otherwise not know about, and concludes with a tragic (though rash) ending. There's a lot of sexual content throughout the novel, so be prepared for that. It might excite some and displease others, but keep an open mind because this is just how slum dwellers must live.
I wish there was more information about the anonymous author, and whether this was based on a true story or something. But I guess that mystery adds to the book's appeal. Go and read it!
