"Es war schon dunkel, als sie den Einsamen See erreichten, der seinen Namen alle Ehre machte, den er war wirklich einsam; außer ihnen war niemand da."
the prose in this book. truly umwerfend. we can all learn something from this absolute genius of style

it's rough out here but there is finally a plot! so we've decided to persevere. for now

if youre gonna write a book longer than the lord of the rings in the 21st century I feel like it's not to much to ask that you have better politics than a British white guy in the 1950s.. the unspeakable disappointment of a disabled and long exiled character asking for help not bc of the pain he's in or lack of community thru exile, but bc he's too ugly for women to be attracted to him (his words!!),, like girl what!

it's giving "major leagues boring in the way only a german man can be" so far... like go on girl give us nothing (protagonist meets and falls in love with a women in less than a page, a woman whose only use so far has been to motivate the guy to push for the goal he was ALREADY pushing for)

I like the premise so I'll keep going but.... thin ice
