Le nécrophile (Pocket Book)

The book's unflinching look at obsession pushes boundaries, and I'm curious what motivated Gabrielle Wittkop to delve into such dark subject matter.

The protagonist's obsession is so intense that it made me question my own reactions. Was this discomfort intentional or a reflection of the character's complexity?

The setting feels so integral to the narrative—did the gothic elements come naturally from the story or was it a deliberate choice to heighten the emotional stakes?
