I'm glad I'm not in bad marriage like this dude. I keep waiting for him to bust out to India, but looks like something bad is going to happen to his kid. I guess he will have to make a tough choice between his desires and responsibilities. I've read that this isn't the best Hess book, but I picked it up (brand new) for $4 at The Strand.
Stilul lui Hesse foarte agreabil, dar subiectul si maniera in care a fost tratat, insipide ambele.

Johann is a painter of some fame who is estranged from his wife and eldest son while still living on the same property. Only Pierre, his younger son, keeps his tied to the homestead. When an old friend discovers how Johann's marriage has deteriorated, he challenges Johann to move on, let go of Pierre and free himself of what weighs him down.
There was a lot of simple beauty in the writing of this book. Hesse was dealing with his own divorce in writing this book, and it shows a lot of deep thought and feeling.
Food: an ice cold glass of cranberry juice. Tart, a hint of sweetness, cold and clean, but strong.

Revealing perhaps the inner-child and childish whims of the narrator, embodied by Pierre, this semi-confessional novel questions the contradictions of the path to self-discovery and the avoidance of change.
one of the best books i've read this year. full review coming soon.
