i feel like the reflections on tegularius and the discussions of history + his view that was separated from art (clearly wrong) were really interesting. i think this book is really good when it's good - in the sense that it provokes a lot of interesting thought from the reader despite not being entirely perfect.

slow but it's making me think a lot so i'm enjoying it. i feel like hesse's description of a "psychological game" fits how i feel about this book tbh

- been thinking about how this was written during the rise of the nazi party and despite hesse being criticized for being apolitical, i think this book wouldn't have been written under any other circumstance
- it does however highlight hesse's blindspot, which imo, doesn't actually bother me for this particular novel since it actually helps support the thesis
- no art
- elder brother the og sinaboo lmaoo
