Predator / prey but in a complicated way... This story lodges in and isn't quite done with you well after the last page. Brilliantly calculating and constructed over 100-some pages, The Driver's Seat follows Lise, a woman preparing for holiday and for the perfect match with 'her type'."You got a young man?" "Yes, I have my boy-friend!" "He's not with you, then? "No, I'm going to find him. He's waiting for me..." I knew little about this one going in (my first Spark, actually!), and feel the better for it. Breadcrumbs along the way leading to the climax, but how it all plays out is quite a (bonkers) surprise. Recommended!

Told in choppy police reports and interrogations, we meet Katharina, a young woman who is mercilessly hounded, besmirched, and slut-shamed by a tabloid newspaper after a chance encounter with a (unbeknownst to her) terrorist. Unique storytelling style that kept me [mostly] engaged. Was challenging to keep the dozens of characters straight in my head in such a small piece of work, a longer piece would have given more nuance and context. Perhaps this storyline was more of a shocker upon publication in 1974, but yellow journalism has been around for a long time, and now the internet is the public pillory... still an interesting read, nonetheless. This edition features an introduction by Kurt Andersen, which I read and enjoyed after the book. Reminded me of how I enjoyed his Fantasyland several years ago. Read for my #Nobel23 project - Heinrich Böll won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1972.
