Description
The Gaze by Elif Shafak is a humorous and carnivalesque exploration of what it means to look and be looked at. When an obese woman and her lover, a dwarf, are constantly stared at wherever they go, they decide to reverse roles. The man goes out wearing make-up, while the woman draws a moustache on her face.
This elegant novel explores our desire to look at others, turning the tables on societal norms of beauty and identity. With its unique premise and compelling storytelling, The Gaze is an unforgettable read.
