So detailed and extraneous I lost it multiple times. I understand the themes but don’t love the writing style. The main character is very unlikable, which is fitting.
Overall, great in one way, a worthy classic, but a tough sell to read again.

Okay enough to get through, but it's pretty clear while some books are classics of renown, and some - like this one - are not.

Ein einziges Fest der Dekadenz. Stellenweise etwas anstrengend aber unglaublich unterhaltsam.
