I give to you the anti-meme trilogy.

Oh yes I like it

I really don't like the available translations of Gracq (monolinguist here, sorry). I feel like it's not much better in French either, but I could be wrong. Tartar Steppe is really one of my absolutes. Need to read Junger.

You've got to be shilling me. Rivage is honestly a 10/10 book with god-tier purple prose in french. Intoxicating doesn't describe it enough. Finishing it was such a "Wow, best book ever" feel.

On the Marble Cliffs is Junger's best. All the simpletons who glorify storm of steel without seeing the growth of junger as a writer and his characters as men is saddening.

A book that fits these thematicall would be Coetzee's Waiting for the Barbarians

I haven't read Storm of Steel but I think I agree with you. Mature Junger seems easily to best the best Junger. I think Marble Cliffs is kind of weird to read, so it filters a lot of plebs out. Have you read his journals by any chance? I want to get a couple volumes but don't know which are best.

Sounds good but for some reason I always conflate Coetzee with Coelho. I apologize.

No but for me the ideal reading is Storm>Glass Bees>Cliffs>Eumswil

not bad

God I hate this website

Get out son of a bitch

The Tartar Steppe>On the Marble Cliffs>The Opposing Shore

But they're all interesting. Buzzati and Junger are both a fair bit better than Gracq though.

Agree to disagree. Gracq is amazing.
