- another member on GR pointed out that when you read multiple books at once, you find yourself accidentally choosing novels with similar themes. the Iliac Crest and this share the theme of psychotherapy, interesting how that happened
- I don’t know much about psychiatry, but I feel like neither do the characters in this book. The narrator is annoying and draws conclusions that seem pseudoscientific to me

The Silent Patient

Eh-meh. I don’t know the author’s experience with psychotherapy but I’d guess he doesn’t have a background in the subject. I’m craving some more detailed explanations of the methods used, the medical side of things. Instead we have two different characters with a very similar narrative voice going on about god and fate and love in a way that’s pretty implausible for real world people.

“The hospital was nothing more than a cemetery with open tombs. A strange sort of limbo where those with fatal wounds arrived and, nevertheless, could not die.”

“Hell, I don't know exactly. Anyway, you needn't be sarcastic about the house committee. It protects people's interests.'

'Whose interest, may I ask?'

'The workers', of course.'

Philip Philipovich opened his eyes wide. 'What makes you think that you're a worker?'

'I must be - I'm not a capitalist.”

Hanna is on page 164 of 375 of La fille qui parlait ours
Un gros point faible du récit et de l’écriture est la voix à la première personne du singulier. Il est très difficile de reproduire le monologue interne d’une fille de 12 ans… je vais jeter le livre par la fenêtre si je lis encore une fois la phrase « un frisson glacial me parcourut le dos » :p
