Which kinda says it all doesn't it. Well, another hole in the my English degree education filled. The haikus were okay, but I think those were translations.
Not sure if this is going to remain a DNF, or what...The book is unreadable and in places plain incoherent. Some of the imagery is nauseating while some is beautiful, daunting and well-felt out. And I have to admit that I can't help hating the stupid protagonists without a single healthy brain cell ...
One of the main reasons that I decided to read this book, other than the fact that it happens to be a modern classic, is because I was reading an article in a Christian magazine that was complaining about how this book, and the motor car in general, is responsible for the promiscuous, permissive, an...
And I saw how everybody dies and nobody's going to care. I felt how it is to live just so you can die like a bull trapped in a screaming human ring.Το απόσπασμα δίνει ακριβώς τον τόνο της μελαγχολίας που διατρέχει όλα τα διηγήματα της συγκεκριμένης συλλογής.

"Rimbaud" checks in at eight pages and "A Curse At the Devil" at six pages. Though they're not long enough to dominate the collection. There are samplings f...
"Podziemnych" przeczytałem niemal dokładnie 2 lata temu. Tutaj skupię się na krótkim opowiadaniu pt. "Pic". Na ogół tego nie robię ale tym razem nieco streszczę fabułę. Kim jest Pic?
