The work was okay, and then Book II began. All has fallen, into revolting bourgeois jealousy on his end, and pathetic servility and self-loathing on her end. I resent Erpenbeck for betraying these characters like this—that is the ultimate betrayal in this work!

Getting through the rest of this will be a slog, I suspect. Possessive love, what a bore.
