Infinite Text | A Tale of Four Creeps @InfiniteText | Uploaded April 2019 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
In this video I discuss at length four very similar novels: Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov, The Collector by John Fowles, Perfume by Patrick Süskind, and The Dumb House by John Burnside.
Time Stamps: The Plots 1:15, The Creep 6:01, The Woman 10:24, Worst Crime 13:43, Best Book 15:15 (in my opinion…all of these are MY opinions…goes without saying...but let's say it anyways)
Do consider that there are some spoilers in this video, however I tried to discuss them in a way that important plot points, the endings, and “the way” it’s accomplished is not spoiled, but if you are sensitive to spoilers there is a warning in the video, and there is a second warning here now. To be fair, the full title of Perfume is “The Story of a Murderer”…so like…the author wasn’t even bothered to keep it spoiler free. #BookTube #BookDiscussion
P.S. Jean-Baptiste's most used name in the book is Grenouille but I struggle to pronounce that so I left it at Jean-Baptiste.
