"It is very unusual that I don't finish a novel, and I hate to concede, but, it's just so fucking terrible!
NOTHING HAPPENS!
I've read 300 pages and nothing has happened.
There is an event to celebrate Austria, and there was a trial for a killer. 300 pages these things are written about, but there has been no progress at all. It's not even a fucking story!

I'll spend the rest of the summer reading good books."

Nathanael West
