Review: You Should Have Left: A Novel

You Should Have Left: A Novel by Daniel Kehlmann
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A creepy and haunting tale of a writer's descent into madness.

What starts out as a visit to an alpine retreat turns into a mind-bending spiral into a writer's mind as he grapples with family, work, and the demons surrounding him. This short tale (translated from German) leaves much to the reader's imagination and will have you wondering what really happened even as you turn the final page.
