The Analyst
by
John Katzenbach
The novel is divided into three parts. The first part made me nervous, inclined and even desperate to find solutions and breaks in history. The second part bores me a bit, given that there is little action and small discoveries, but fortunately it is short and passes quickly. The Third Part - Even evil poets love sensationally overwhelming death.
I loved how Katzenbach interwoven everything. He did not leave a hair out of place. There was no way someone would find out who Rumplestilskin was up to five lines before they told him who he was. At the moment I realized, it was a "BUT NOT GOING IT BEFORE", not seen before because the author does not allow it. It is so well planned and so well armed that it leaves you with the doubt whether it was the perfect crime, or perfect revenge, and whether it was real or not.
I'm completely embarrassed. This novel created in me as much anxiety as despair and also hope. I did not necessarily feel empathy for any character, but I was drawn to the sinister and twisted mind of Rumplestilskin. By the way, what good names does the author use. Rumplestilskin is the name of a dwarf from a Grimm brothers tale called The Dwarf Dwarf. In history, the dwarf (whose name must be discovered) helps a young woman get what she wants, but later requires a payment for her services: her son asks. Then he says, "You have three days to find out my name, if you hit him, I'll let you stay with the boy." Oia, oia, what a coincidence that Rumpletstilkin's novel in this novel tells Ricky Starks, the psychoanalyst, who has fifteen days to discover who he is or if he does not force him to commit suicide!
Virgil's name I also liked. In The Divine Comedy, Dante is guided by Virgil through hell. Like all good in the Katzenbach novel all the time, "everyone needs a guide in hell". And that Virgil, this lovely woman, guided Ricky Starks to his own hell. Oh, I love this name game. I LOVE. Ok I'm calm
As a sea, it was an excellent cover letter. It is the first novel I read of Katzenbach and has won me admiration and respect. Fortunately, among my mother's books, there are several novels of him, so I will have to read a little.
Super recomendable. You have to read it with your mind rested and your eyes wide open. And after each chapter, click on one of the clonazepam to calm the nerves
