![]() ![]() Few came up with strong opinions, there seemed to be more questions than answers inconclusive was a word that sprang to mind. ‘Electrifying novel about beauty, envy and carelessness’, said one tweet, ‘fever dream of a book that meticulously details the life and history of Saul Adler, as a fragment monologue that begins on the Abbey Road…’, said another, ‘an historian lost in time.’īut in a way, I felt short-changed. In an effort to write this review I read some other reviews, I listened to podcasts and interviews with Levy, and scrolled through Twitter to see what others had said. It was as if I had to let this mesmeric, bewildering and often confusing book ferment and gently settle in my mind. I haven’t been able to write this review for some weeks. This line from ‘The Man Who Saw Everything’, Deborah Levy’s eighth novel, and third in seven years to be nominated for the Booker Prize, has haunted me ever since I put it down. “You are only significant if you are significant.” ![]()

Martha worked her evil in backhanded ways. She would just get the shittier-smelling perfume to demonstrate tomorrow. If Rosie was caught taking an unscheduled break, she wouldn’t be docked pay or anything so serious. One might surmise that Rosie was in the military, instead of a perfume girl at the mall. Rosie hobbled over to the Clinique counter in her high heels, watching out for her supervisor, Martha, before performing a casual lean against the glass, groaning as the pressure on her toes and ankles lessened. Why wouldn’t customers let her make them smell good? Was it so much to ask? In order to fulfill that title, someone would be required to consult her first, right? Problem was, no one ever asked to be spritzed with perfume. Really, that’s what her name tag should have read, instead of COSMETICS CONSULTANT. ![]() Rosie Vega: a department store shopper’s worst nightmare. ![]() ![]() Reprinted in 2023 with the help of original edition published long back. 176 Unique Leather Bound Edition having Spine and corners bind with leather with Golden Leaf Printing on round spine.
