It’s significantly hard to write a review on such a sophisticated novel, it’s simply mind-twisting, it’s the sort of novel that once you read you are never the same person anymore, it’s amazing and overwhelming how a novel written in the 1940s could have that great influence on generation after generation of writers and film makers worldwide, it’s not merely …
