Reviews
The Ogre . . . is, quite simply, a great novel . . . [It] bears patently the marks of greatness. It relentlessly pushes individual idiosyncrasy to--and even beyond--the point of universality. It covers simultaneously the events inside one head and one continent. It uses documentary knowledge--minute and encyclopedic knowledge of photography, history, zoology, anthropometry, weaponry--to illustrate the otherwise undocumentable progress of a human obsession., The Ogre is a very clever book in its belletristic way, and the translation reads very well... Tiffauges's obsessions -- a cornucopia of the ocular, the cloacal, of celibacy, heraldry, therapies, wounds, beats, boys, and twins -- are conveyed in an alliterative rhetoric of rare words and allusions., "The Ogre... is, quite simply, a great novel...
