Deeply, deeply upsetting!

I was a huge fan of the Almodovar film when I was in college so I had put off reading the Gold Dagger-winning novel till now simply because I thought I was familiar with the story. What a mistake! Notes From the Underground as a psychological thriller. As insular and horrific a mainstream suspense as I've read. Claustrophobic and disorienting. Remarkable.
