What The Doctor Did
‘WOMEN’, WROTE GERMAINEG Greer in The Female Eunuch, ‘have very little idea of how much men hate them – men do not themselves know the depth of their hatred.’ Margaret Mazzantini, the Italian author of this captivating, utterly horrific novel, appears to be an exception. I cannot remember having read a story delivered in the first person since Lolita whose narrator is at once so monstrous and so opaque to himself.
