I first read this book in the early 2000's (published in 1998) and was horrified and amazed. Over the years I would check to see if Miller had written another book to no avail. When I picked this up nearly 20 years later to read again, I did further searching and found that the author has been dead since 2008. The book was just as wonderful, funny, sad and horrifying but sadder somehow knowing that her next book would never be written. ( ) This is my favorite book of all time. I've read it so many times that I don't have to read it anymore to know exactly what is going to happen on each page. It is well written and profound. There are parts of it that connect to life every day. You'll definitely never look at cucumbers the same way again. It's intense, but worth getting through. I've lent it to people that read it and could only say, "wow." Ellen Miller became my favorite author by writing one book, that's how good it was. It was a great disappointment when the second novel that was supposedly in the works never came. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Profoundly hypnotic and deeply disturbing, this astonishing literary debut is destined to be one of the most controversial novels of the year. 'I could never predict what was going to ruin me and what was going to rescue me.' says Ilyana Meyerovitch, a self-confessed suicidal, strung-out Jew. Into her life, and her flat, walks her opposite - Susie Lyons - blonde, artistic, optimistic and above all, innocent. LIKE BEING KILLED is about the devastating effects the two women have on each other as they start to share more than a flat. Simultaneously drawn to Susie's wholesome values and repelled, Ilyana's desire for what Susie has will take her into the grip of a downward spiral whose only outcome is oblivion. LIKE BEING KILLED is the 90s brat-pack gone wrong. A novel of drugs, dependency and the myth of sisterhood, it takes the trust implicit in flat-sharing to its ultimate conclusion.....
