Am I a plebeius for not feeling this?
The dialogue is unbearable and the prose, while descriptive, is just not enough to keep me engaged,but that may be the translation memeing me.
Also, the whole pan myth, and the cycles of love and nature inseparable from the people is too obvious and l can't find anything deeper in it.
Hunger was better.
Your thoughts?

Idk, but I thought Growth of the Soil was overrated too. Hunger was the only other book I've read by him and I enjoyed that, but he doesn't really seem that important to me. But I've also only read him in English.
