Review of 'The eleven' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

This is a gorgeous but obtuse novella and I can't help feel I missed a lot of Michon's themes for my lack of French history knowledge. Still, I got a great deal out of his incredible, tortuous prose. This is a beautiful story to simply immerse in, sort of like Bruno Schulz.
