I’d get asked, on average, once a week whether I’d ever read Perfume by Patrick Süskind. I’d always say “no, not yet, but I’ll read it soon!”. It’s well over a decade later, but I’m finally making good on that promise. And I’d like to go back and ask everyone who ever recommended this book to a young girl who works in a perfume shop: what the hell??? Because it is a WEIRD one. Perfume: The Story Of A Murderer (or Das Parfum: Die Geschichte eines Mörders in Süskind’s original German) is a 1985 literary historical novel that has since been translated into 49 languages and sold over 20 million copies – making one of the best-selling German novels of the 20th century.

Like it or loathe it, it has to be admitted that the novel is an extraordinary piece of work. Set in 18th century France, it’s the story of an orphan child, baptised Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, who, from the outset is felt by all who come into contact with him to be strange – possibly even evil. And indeed the child is decidedly odd – he has no odour (good or bad) of his own but he does possess an almost supernatural sense of smell through which he experiences and understands the world. He's put to work at the earliest moment in the most foul and squalid conditions where he excels in jobs that would repel most people and through this process comes |
