wow i actually hate this writing style perhaps i will not be reading this rn!

"All great novels, after all, are houses built by mercurial architects who, instead of moving into the serene buildings already in existence, would rather start from scratch and go it alone."

PLEASE MR ZAMBRA...WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT...

something to be said about aging and growing into your own maturity because i never used to enjoy introductions or editor's notes or translator's notes and now they are almost as addicting to me as reading the acknowledgments

opening sentence of this intro talks about the author saying "house" and "novel" are synonyms i am foaming at the mouth
