Description

G at first was a little much, but he slowly works his way under your skin and then before you know it you’re giggling long with the love-interest at all his ridiculous self confidence.

This was the retelling my heart had been calling for! 🖤 Gaston was a mean and arrogant villain so I was always curious how a retelling about him would be like and I DEVOURED this book!

I wouldn’t go so far as to call him a villain because well, we don’t know what he was up to before the start of the story, but it wouldn’t be a big surprise if he was. Until further notice, the G road test will not include these elements that are already covered in the G2 road test: What did I enjoy? The novel is set, primarily in Italy, in the first part of the 20th century leading up to and including the early stages of WWI. I thoroughly enjoyed how historical events were integrated into the story. The description of early aviators attempting flight over the Alps was particularly captivating. But how to write about this? This equation is inexpressible in the third person and in narrative form. The third person and the narrative form are clauses in a contract agreed between writer and reader, on the basis that the two of them can understand the third person more fully than he can understand himself; and this destroys the very terms of the equation. I say all that to set up this, the bulleted list I sent to said better-writer-than-me regarding John Berger's stunning book, G.:

I almost forgot, even though G can’t remember who he is, it’s pretty clear he wasn’t the best guy before the waking up a total mess thing.

Rent a car from all the major companies and hit the road!The language in which this book is written is gorgeous, no question. And the philosophical flights are thought-provoking, if sometimes obscure. But the title character, G., is ... what? A sociopath? A nymphomaniac? He pursues women whom he claims to love (frequently on no stronger a basis than first sight), indifferent to the chaos he causes in their lives.

Come non lo sono suo padre e sua madre: personaggi abbastanza ordinari che niente hanno da spartire con i protagonisti presenti nelle altre opere narrative di Berger, epici e sovrumani, pur se inseriti negli ultimi gradini della scala sociale. This anti-hero, G, is selfish and arrogant but you can’t deny there’s something about him that’s so darn likeable! Part of that is because the heroine Charlie - the most selfless and humble person in the world, ironically - really complements him and brings out the absolute best in him. ANALYSIS: As storyline goes, G is a modern interpretation of the classical Don Juan story but from the perspective of several of the women involved. G. himself - the illegitimate son of a rich but strange English girl and a conventional Italian businessman - is seen through the eyes of the women, the narrator who inserts his comments here and there and only sometimes directly, this last especially in the midst of violent events at which he is essentially a bystander until they engulf him.
