It's a damn good novel. If you like it, you should also check out The Tanners by the same author. That's about a group of siblings in their 20s though, but it's still incredible (I actually prefer it)

meh, dissenting opinion. it wandered a bunch and didnt go anywhere. it laid down ideas that influenced the likes of kafka/hesse/etc., but they did it better/more refined. in terms of legacy it's notable, but actual quality as a standalone work is lacking imo. ymmv
