More on The Kindly Ones
Kakutani takes her shot at Littell’s monster:
No doubt the author intends such remarks to convey the horrors of the Holocaust, but “The Kindly Ones” instead reads like a pointless compilation of atrocities and anti-Semitic remarks, pointlessly combined with a gross collection of sexual fantasies.
After this review, and Michael’s, The Kindly Ones is slowly working it’s way toward the bottom of our reading pile.
