Hi everyone! I finished reading The Asylum by Patrick McGrath last month.
It was a blind pick, and I had no expectations BUT OH GOD, after I read it, I’ve been tripping ever since.
I want to hear your opinions about the book because I’ve heard mixed reviews, and I enjoy hearing different perspectives.
My take is… I don’t really understand what’s wrong with Stella Raphael, honestly. I know we’re supposed to feel sympathy for her, but most of what happened was basically something she brought on herself. She knew from the start how Edgar was, and Edgar never denied his nature or showed any signs of change, yet she kept getting lost in the maze.
I feel bad extremely bad for her son.
Can you suggest other books with this grotesque vibe?
