Alex’s Reviews > Schattenfroh > Status Update

To my taste as a reader, if a book aspires to a certain level of impenetrability, it should also simultaneously somehow seduce the reader into attempting to uncover its secrets. Schattenfroh has long sentences, but at least in translation, they lack the style that keeps me invested in works by say, Pynchon or Gass. I’m not the least bit curious about what it all means. I think I’ll be putting this one aside.
