Thank you

Honedtly, what do people see in this guy. "Ferdydurke" was alright but the rest of his work was nothing special.

Would be better if it weren't post modernist garbage.

Got the same gift for Christmas.

This concerns me, is there no genuine narrative theme in the end? Don't want to spend like one hundred hours deciphering what is a meaningless subjective story with no actually themes.

>>8974656
Nah, it's a fun book, has a pretty strong narrative thread throughout, although the narrator is somewhat unreliable.

based Fyo-fyo "Life Changer" Dosto claims yet another man

have you read his other works?

Read The Dream of A Ridiculous Man

Notes from Underground and Crime and Punishment.

I was lucky enough to read them in Russian (my grandparents emigrated during the Revolution and I was raised speaking Russian) and they are divine.

Though he isn't as good as Gogol/Pushkin, also Master and Margerita is better than any of his works (though Bulgakov on the whole is not a better author).

However the greatest Russian writer is, in my opinion, Chekhov.

>pic is related back to thread topic.

be cognizant of this aspect of your writing, and edit.

sorry, i meant to ask what other ways you could express yourself without "just"

in the way that you could say "in the way" instead of like

Nothing wrong with repetition it it fits the voice or tone. Don't fall for the thesaurus meme. Reading something natural is more aesthetic than something forced

Not sure why the orientation is all fucked.

I'm on the literal edge of my figurative seat.

I'm similar but I don't even like a lot of books. I just feel an obligation to read because I'm worried ill be called a pleb otherwise

Get some self control, OP. Jesus christ.
