Pedophilia is a crime.Do not mix it with art!Seek help!

I bought this book when I was a teen just because of the word Venice. I didn't pass the prologue for how boring it was and so the book stayed on the shelf because I thought I would have more patience for it when I grow up.



Years later, I learned about Björn Andrésen, the poor young boy who played in the 1971 adaptation of the book.

If you don't know him yet, watch this very important documentary film:

The most beautiful boy in the world (2021).



Look, if the story had shown that pedophilia is bad and the main character would have been punished for such mentality, I would have been okay with it.



BUT NO. The writer tries to deceit himself and us by glorifying it and painting it as art and literature! Just like Lolita!



Pedophilia is pedophilia!

There is no such a stupid separation between fiction and reality when it comes to fancying children!!



And just look how the so-called fiction has RUINED a REAL person's life in our very own REALITY!



People who have rated this book 4-5 stars and claim how rich the book is in literature are fucked in mind and have to seek help.
