At The Complete Review, M.A. Orthofer reviews Urs Allemann’s Babyfucker, reading below the surface effect of the narrator’s language:
The narrator’s baby-fucking obsession turns out to be somewhat more complicated than a literal reading of the term and his early claims would have it. Early on he states his own, more uncertain cogito ergo sum-variation: “I fuck babies. Therefore maybe I am.”
Read why Orthofer concludes that Babyfucker is “a significant and largely successful literary experiment” here.
