thehoodie posted:I meant Perfume. It just made me really mad. I did not realize it was a parody, but that does not make me want to go back and read it. yeah i think the reception in america was initially negative because few reviewers understood it and thought it was a nazi allegory or complained about the plot not making sense lol. a lot of the allusions are probably lost in the translation, but it's basically a pastiche of many classic novels of german romanticism.
