One of my favourite books. I only know of one English translation. Would love to read another English version if it exists.
Gide said that he meant this book to be treated as one half of a pair, together with L'Immoraliste. I took him at his word and read them in rapid succession.

Bored, bored, bored, bored, bored. Sure he can write. He writes like God's right hand, he writes like the detail of the wing of an angel, he writes like water. But he's very, very, very boring.
