Edward Waverley is a dilettante, quick-witted but bored easily and acting on a whim without own convictions, driven by others. An interesting choice and essential for the novel, judging by the introduction.
Scott is at times really funny, oozes witty irony, constantly breaks the fourth wall with explanations to the reader and gets lost in long-winded tedious descriptions of environment. Will be a tough read.

After two auto-fictional books nominated for the Deutscher Buchpreis in recent years, now for something completely different. Historical fiction from the 19th century. I blame it on a visit to Edinburgh four years ago and the huge Scott monument there, making me a bad conscience that I know nothing about this guy.
