J R

yup I fucking said it. call me crazy. I do not give a fuck. I thought it was hilarious and heartfelt. made me feel. good times. suck a dick.

Heartfelt seems like a strange accolade for 'J R,' which I did enjoy. What did you find heartfelt about it, Anon, the relationship between Bast and ... Stella? Or Amy and Jack?

The grosse feeling I was imparted with while reading 'J R' was antipathy, with maybe only a few bona fide beating hearts (namely Bast and Amy) littered throughout.

not op but JR is beautiful despite its humor and irony, I actually found Bast's story tragic, and Gibbs, as enjoyable as he is to watch fuck around, it's often just as despondent and lost

I don't disagree with any of this, but I was asking specifically why he found it heartfelt, or perhaps what he felt was heartfelt about 'J R.' A (character's) story can be tragic without being heartfelt. I agree about Jack, I found him pitiful most of the time, perhaps his unfinished book stirred a little compassion in me

Joseph and His Brothers. Of all time you say, published in 1943 you say? In terms of context not only is it Mann's greatest work but rivals if it not surpasses Dante and Milton's works
