Did I know anything about Carmen, the book or the opera, before checking this out? Nope. Saw it was from Melville House's Art of the Novella series, did a cursory check of the back cover, and checked it out. Personally, I'm glad I came to the story a blank slate, because it was all fresh and

brilliant and crisp. Carmen is a brilliant example of the chaotic neutral character if I've ever seen one.

A few times it felt excessively old-fashioned, but, you know, 1845?

Probably would never have read it if not for Melville House. Those chaps have done their job again.
