Well The Tenant was a truly bizarre book, not what I was expecting at all but it was a great little read, it's only short (clocks in at 180 pages)
It starts off with a regular dude haggling to move into an apartment in France, the previous tenant threw themselves out of the window.
The neighbours are off with poor old regular dude right from the off, banging on the walls every time he makes a sound, he ends up alienating himself as his neighbours manipulate his life and his very being, his paranoia grows and then things get really weird in the second part of the book, the end will leave you scratching your head as to what you have just been reading.
A lot of it seems to be left down to the reader to decide what has actually happened to the main character.
It was reminiscent of Thomas Ligotti's work (for a modern reference) and it was like a watered down Kafka.
Well worth a read.
I don't know what to read now I've got a few books lined up but I'm not too sure what I fancy at the minute
