Schattenfroh inspired me to give this the good old college try again. “The Hungarian Ulysses”, so I’m told, “an eerie attack on realism” with “no traditional narration and no psychologically motivated characters”, it is ”a virtual novel that preempts every possibility for its realization”.

Well, I DID say I’d be crushing novellas post-Schattenfroh. Probably not getting through a third today, though starting this - “forecasts Bataille’s theories of ecstasy, death, and transgression”, his first novel under a pseudonym. Parallels to Sade and Nietzsche, apparently.

In the last hundred or so pages, the discussion of the soul, death, immortality, rebirth…. Shattering. Just an amazing feat.
