4.0 out of 5 stars Neighbours From Hell, 16 Sep 2003

By	Damian of Clitheroe (England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Tenant (Paperback)

This haunting tale is all the more chilling for conveying the uneasy fact that the veil which conceals the macabre can be very thin and easy to fall through.

An unassuming man, Monsier Trelkovsky, a bit down at heel goes in search of an apartment. The seemingly ordinary events that ensue conspire against him and fuel his overly self-conscious and paranoiac personality. As the story develops, Trelkovsky descends into a scary and solipsistic world; a gruesome phantasmogoria where reality and imagination entwine...

Even in translation this 1960s French novel's existential tone (a characteristic commonly found in continental literature and films) shows through and underpins this eerie fable. This type of writing invites the reader to put himself in the place of the protagonist and to try and comprehend the world through their eyes - which in this tale provides a disturbing read.

5.0 out of 5 stars gripping... absorbing... tale of paranoia, 19 Feb 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Tenant (Paperback)

A very clever tale of the life of Monsieur Trelkovsky after he is forced to find a new apartment in Paris.

A gripping story of fantasy and paranoia as bizarre events unfold leading the chracter into a state of mind from which he can no longer distinguish reality.

A masterpiece of such style with a twist at the end which will leave the reader with a lingering sense of horror.
