Read that book because of this supposed picture of a missing girl. Eery victorian girl angst if I'd have to describe it in a single sentence. I like weird horror stories so I enjoyed the read, although some passages were a bit.. simple I guess?

I read (a version) of this, recently. (The French original appears to be a somewhat different/permuted version). Like all Intervention Series titles, the purpose of the text is clearly to get its reader to hate capitalism. This is the two-word summary of the entire book series: "capitalism sucks". Each volume is a variation on the theme.

However, what actually occurs when a right-thinking person reads (this version of) this text, is simply that the reader begins to hate women even more than he already had. This time, the notion is young woman as commodity-subject (object and subject, all at once). But what really disgusts is not the working of capitalism itself, but female banality at all, as it happens, incidentally, to be expressed in a particular (capitalist) culture, or "form-of-life" as the idiots would say.

Apart from this, the comment given here (especially as if addressed to the OP) is a bit cryptic. I take your comment to mean that the philosophical Young-girl concept is most properly referred to women themselves, and not some catch-all concept which also includes certain men (as the introduction makes explicit). While it's true that women are annoying in a /very specific way/, which the text captures in spite of itself, it's also true that /effeminite men are annoying in an analogous way/. Although the text instead suggests the vanity of a Berlusconi or an old male retiree doing a bit of shopping on vacation (or similar) as other Young-girls (free-wheeling, fully participating in capitalism), it shrewdly sticks with the old-man counterexamples in order to avoid the warranted misogyny which /also applies to annoying, effeminite gay men/.

Tristana by Benito Pérez Galdós is on my stack.

"Nada" by Carmen Laforet was an interesting book for me. I read it a year ago and it dealt with the ins and outs of a girl going to college in the 40s and the isolation, solitude and detachment she felt. It had nothing to do with her being a woman, just related to her fucked up family life and inability to connect with people. While the book's perspective was very female oriented, as you could tell by some of the decisions taken by the author (like how there's only one man in the story that isn't an antagonist and even then he's the boy toy of one of the female characters), the core ideas of loneliness stuck with me. After the time that followed me finishing the book most of the details have peeled away from my memory, leaving only the core ideas that I believe are much more universally applicable whether you are a man or a woman. Either way, I would recommend it.
