it was amazing
bookshelves: currently-reading, re-reading-for-the-umpteenth-time

The Knut Hamsun is slow, meandering...was Hamsun on drugs?I am being serious, this reads , almost like Geza Csaths stories...who actually was on morphine. Roth, conversely, writes like a man drunk on life and knowing he may die tomorrow and he HAS to get this out before he does.Always a pleasure reading the real, the only Roth any sensible reader should read. Every page has a sentence of truth that one feels the need to copy on paper, to share with a loved one. My wife hates it when I read anything by Roth. His insights are magical. Now, I must return to the book, baby is asleep and this househusband has some reading to do...
