Best literary works, that instill hope and paint humanity in redeemable way.
Franzen always makes me feel better about people, but he makes me hate people before he makes me feel better about them. He makes me believe people can change even though nothing in life has provided me evidence of that.
>>24690631Do you have a favourite of his works?
>>24690637Freedom
>>24690631This is good. Franzen’s characters are most the dislikable people I’ve ever come across. I guess there might be realism there, but I can only imagine what its like in his head lol.>>24690626Parsifal, Richard Wagner
The Tempest
>>24690626The Brothers Karamazov and The Forged Coupon because they are honest but optimistic
>>24690626ulYssES
