I See You: The Number One Sunday Times Bestseller

also, murder seems a punishment a bit disproportionate to zoe's supposed crimes. not to mention all the other victims, who were guilty of absolutely nothing. i find it hard to fathom that a woman would be down with dispassionately setting up a bunch of completely innocent women to be murdered or sexually assaulted, even with the winky "who, me?" of plausible deniability. OK.. here goes... I chose this book to read with my online bookclub because it sounded fab and was only 99p. However...all my complaints about her first book, are gone in this one. I found this book a little more tangible to connect with and more plausible.

Think about all the people being watched-- especially women. Normal every day women going about business as if they are invisible to the greater world at large. You leave your house to go up work at exactly the same time each day, you sit on the same seat,in the same carriage,on the tube,walk the same path and arrive safely at your destination at the same time. But I See/You Mean has been virtually unavailable for decades. In 2013, I happened upon a copy in Printed Matter, the artists’ bookstore then on 10th Avenue that Lippard herself founded in 1976 in Tribeca, before it moved to Chelsea. I have not seen another copy since, nor have I knowingly encountered another reader of the book. Few libraries list it among their holdings, and sometimes I have wondered if the book in my possession actually exists. this is a fun thriller, but it requires the reader to accept its premise without questioning its logic, and to suspend disbelief like a mofo. if you can do that, you'll have a good time. if you cannot, this is not the book for you. So Zoe sees herself in a newspaper ad. A rather suggestive one. Those around her, including the police, dismiss it as coincidence. But then other women appear and the coincidences pile up and we are off to the races…

I See/You Mean pioneers a feminist novelistic form that is both completely of its moment and remarkably prescient of our own. Many of its formal decisions have been taken up by later writers. Other innovations—most notably, the refusal of perspective and the evacuation of narrative authority—seem like lost opportunities, paths that could have been taken but were not. Like recent works by novelists such as Chris Kraus, Valeria Luiselli, Ruth Ozeki, and Sally Rooney, I See/You Mean invites us to read it autobiographically. Its methods, though—rigorously excluding a narrator’s perspective in which all threads might be (even provisionally) tied up, and expanding the diegetic frame to include every aspect of the book’s creation—make clear its distance from subject-centered “autofiction.” The book’s recent republication by the Los Angeles press New Documents allows us to consider its formal principles as anticipating, but also as a counterpoint to, current tendencies in women’s writing. The rating scale is based on details such as how predictable they are, what clothes they wear, and whether they travel alone. Zoe, given how monotonous her routine is, is an easy target. The closer Swift gets to Zoe, the more personally invested she becomes in the case. Swift’s sister was sexually assaulted in college, and she despises all crimes against women. Overall, I enjoyed the novel. The premise of the story, that our 'personal information' is too public, is very relevant to modern times. And the main characters are fleshed out and interesting. On the downside, the middle of the story moves rather slowly, but this is a minor quibble. As for the ending? You wonder about the twists in these type of stories right? What I liked about it is not only 'who' -- but 'why'. So --even if you think you 'might' know the ending - and do not be so sure ( really: don't)...there's an element added which I found interesting 'with' the ending as much as whodunit. Your protagonist, Zoe, is tired, underpaid, works way too hard and looks after two demanding grown-up children. Why does she let her partner Simon get away with not even paying any rent?

She has done it again, she has excelled herself in her writing ability to not just pull you into the book, oh no, you are 'shoved' into it with full force and eagerness, so much so, that its a case of 'one more chapter' one more chapter' and so it goes on until your eyes are dropping.

What is phrogging? 

I have read many Patricia MacDonald books, and there is something she does that I haven't been able to figure out whether it is a positive or a negative or a bit of both. I liked Kelly. She reminded me a bit of Havers in Elizabeth George's Linley and Havers series -- well meaning and smart, but often overly eager. It took me a little while to get into, yes, as I found the main character (Zoe) to be...less than endearing. If anything, I worried that I'd not like the book simply because I found her to be overly whiney. Thankfully, that clears up as you really get into the intricacies of what's going on. Lisa is a brilliant young medical student who is the single mother of a baby girl, Sydney. She lives with her parents, Adam and Hannah, who are devoted to her and their granddaughter. The parents support Lisa financially and emotionally when she is put on trial for the murder of a nurse she was dating. Lisa is acquitted, but her parents discover that Lisa is seeking out men who are willing to have sex with her baby daughter. Lisa's parents come to the realization that their daughter is a psychopath (it turns out Lisa actually was quilty of the murder of the nurse, who was so horrified by what Lisa wants him to do with her daughter that he threatened to reveal her depravity to the hospital where she works). Adam and Hannah run off and hide with their granddaughter after Lisa threatens to falsely accuse her father of sexually abusing her if her parents try to obtain custody of Sydney.

Meanwhile, the MIT is making progress with their inquiries, and Kelly advises Zoe to be super careful....and to alter her travel habits. Interspersed with the actual events in the story are creepy observations from the 'perp', explaining the sinister behavior. The short chapters written in italics throughout the story were rather creepy and gave me the heebie-jeebies. Maybe you're all better at guessing who culprits are, but I'm SO happy I didn't figure it out. That killer twist in the last chapter made it all worthwhile.

OMG! Towards the end of this book I felt as if I was standing on the edge of a precipice, my stomach chasing butterflies, and my heart beating fit to burst - but forgive me, I'm getting ahead of myself, because there's much more to come before then. I loved PC Kelly Swift's character in this one and liked how she was very empathetic and connected to her cases especially with Zoe and her family. Sure, the thought of being watched and followed was anxiety inducing—in the beginning. The author relies too heavily on that fear to carry this story and without much action, the payoff doesn’t feel big enough. At least not for this suspense junkie. I’m sorry to say, but I found the majority of Zoe and Kelly’s story to be incredibly slow, rife with convenience, clunky with awkward revelations and just not all that exciting. Besides Kelly, there wasn’t a whole lot of depth to any of these characters. There were lots of times during this book I felt I was reading a book written by someone who hadn't written before, the writing was amateur and the dialogue unbelievable in places.

in the tradition of psychological suspense, paranoia grows throughout the novel, and suspicion is cast on many people close to zoe, increasing her anxiety and leaving her with no one to trust. many red herrings, many tense situations, much atmospheric dread. The sounds of the underground echo through this one as an anchor, for any Londoners it will be a joy, you’ll be able to see things unfold in the minds eye – and to anyone who does not know London that well, has never experienced the joys (??) of that particular system you’ll feel like you know it well. I loved this aspect of it, but again thats all you get you’ll just have to read it. On top of that, Zoe has personal concerns. Zoe's son Justin, a computer nerd who works in a coffee shop - tends to sponge off his mother; A and D are collaborating on an artistic book. E and B agree privately that the project is “awful” but that A and D “need the confidence” it is going to give them. “Log VI/Everybody” is set during its launch party. One way this chapter extends the novel’s range of desubjectifying techniques is to present the party’s attendees as a list of statistics. Of the New Yorkers, we read, 69 “live below 14th Street,” 18 “on the Upper East Side,” 42 “on the Lower West Side,” 36 “on the Upper West Side,” etc. Verbal exchanges are presented in fragments, as snatches of overheard conversation, but also broken down as percentages: “36% of the women talked more to women than to men”; “14% made an effort to meet specific people it would be advantageous to know”; “47% spoke to former lovers.” The movement of people through the room is described purely visually—as if caught by accident in the lens of a camera. Several viewpoints tell the story, the narrative is so well flowing and immersive you’ll be in it all the way – leading into a hold your breath and pray finale where everything comes together in a great big glorious reading rush.
