I recently read The Dinner by Herman Koch. It's a story of 2 brothers going out to a fancy dinner with their wives. One of the brother's is famous and running for a political office, so he keeps getting recognized everywhere and gets "fancy" treatment. The whole point of the dinner is the discuss something horrible that their sons have done and how they are going to handle it.
I really hated all the characters in this book. I also felt the book was written in a slow tone for such an important subject. Look back, I think that maybe the slow tone was to go along with how horrible and unemotional the characters seem.
This book was both boring and disgusting at the same time.
