The Pigeon

by Patrick Suskind

Jonathan Noel is just an ordinary man living in Paris, working as a security guard at a local bank. His only goal in life is to be invisible, where nothing really happens; nothing disturbs the monotony of his life. For many long years he lived just like that… till one morning when the pigeon alters his life forever.

When I started to read “The Pigeon” I had already read “Perfume” which I found to be an exquisitely written book, so I was a little let down at first, but in the end I still enjoyed it.
