Mooi geschreven, maar als op zichzelf staand verhaal is het minder geschikt.

Las lekker weg, prettig taalgebruik. Maar het verhaal zelf sprak me totaal niet aan.

Dit verhaal is uitgegeven in het kader van de Literaire Juweeltjes en is een hoofdstuk uit ‘De Wetten’, de verpletterende debuutroman van Connie Palmen uit 1991. Ik was er toentertijd helemaal van ondersteboven. Nu doet een enkel hoofdstuk, 32 jaar later, mij niet zo veel meer.

It started with an interesting discussion of the relation between literature and philosophy. The remaining pages are terrible to read.

Ik kwam er pas aan het eind achter dat dit een hoofdstuk uit De Wetten was, een boek dat ik 4 sterren gaf. Dit hoofdstuk los riep vooral walging op.
