I found his name recently on ebooks gratuits, and downloaded "Monsieur Thorpe et autres nouvelles"

Yes, I've read most of his books and he's among my favorite authors but I've always avoided mentioning him on here because I don't want him to become a meme.

What did you enjoy about his book My Friends?

I did appreciate it, but it seemed to me like he had no grasp of plot or pacing and was only really proficient at producing either funny / observational / sad one-liners. But on the whole simply delivering these one-liners prevents him from actually developing a hat stand (character) on which to hang his hats (his one-liners).

I don't know, I'm underwhelmed. And I'm a big fan of isolated protagonists and the articulation of their pathetic disposition. But My Friends just seems too cheap and superficial.

I don't believe it was that book. There was dialogue and I clearly remember both the animals being able to walk upright on two legs..

Kind of maybe sounds like a roald Dahl book, the one where the title is backwards. I think

have you read the book?

>>10012348
yes sir. I guess I'm trying to articulate the hardships two humans can have when making important decisions but not sure how to approach it meaningfully

a good seed idea. i'll assume this isn't for any type of assignment, as im sure if it were you'd be smart enough to know that your TA or prof should be your primary consultations

every paper needs a thesis, and a thesis is an answer to a question. so what you need to do is start brainstorming some questions to ask yourself about the book, or that you think other people might be asking after they finish reading the book.

super basic stuff is comparative. 'how do the themes of this novel compare to another (usually more canonical) novel?'; 'how do the themes of this novel reflect so-and-so's philosophy of bla-bla? or how do they oppose it?' etc
