I just finished Frost by Bernhard today and while I liked it, I don't really know what to make of it as a whole other than the sense of desolation, provincial decay, and creeping insanity of the whole thing.

It's a long didactic bildungsroman told from the perspective of somebody living in the American South of the early 1900's. Not much to get. It's clearly in the style of Joyce's Portrait of the Artist, but I liked Look Homeward, Angel more, for whatever reason. If you're American and like Moby Dick and Whitman it'll push your buttons.

Portrait of the Artist was basically Joyce-lite so that's fair.

Beautiful and vivid language, perfectly captures darkness of human spirit when met with certain circumstances, important commentary on who the real savages in imperialism were.

Perfectly concise, dense prose, brilliant commentary on the inherent darkness present on the human race and the deconstruction of the whole mighty whitey narrative of the time.

If you didn't get it just fucking watch Apocalypse Now or something.
