just got this from the library, what am I in for?
part 1, obviously
Pseudo philosophical Joyce
>>25199496that doesnt sound promising
bloviating garbage like the rest of the germans
>>25199494The absolute worst of the big three modernist tomes. Do not bother powering through it as there is nothing waiting for you at the end. In fact you probably already are aware there is no end
>>25199676I am aware of that, yes. interesting okay maybe i wont even read very much. Any recommendations that scratch the same itch but better?
>>25199676What’s the other one? Petersburg or TSATF?
>>25199688claude says ulysses, search of lost time and this one
>>25199688This>>25199690
>>25199496theres nothing linguistically interesting in that book like in Joyce, classing it alongside him and Proust is ludicrous, probably just pandering to the inferiority complex of the Germans/Austrians wrt great novel writing.
>>25199690>>25199726I don’t know how I forgot about In Search of Lost Time… anyway Musil shouldn’t be there, replace with Bely and that would be about right.
krauts cant into fiction
>>25199494Get Torless by him. It is the superior novel.
>>25199849>pandering to the inferiority complex of the Germans/AustriansYou don't say. That's why every german author is part of literary discussions
>>25199925Is that why Faust is better than literally every single book written after 1850?
>>25199948not novelists, only the philosophers>>25199985most overrated and typical German slop ever. Imagine having God appearing in theatre and speak in rhyming verse, lmao, truly only krauts could be so tasteless.
