A review by katrinky
Gertrude by Hermann Hesse

4.0

i loved this book. i found it to be sometimes soothingly and sometimes terribly accurate in describing a creative person's lifestyle, from the horror of unrealized potential to the quiet realization that a life is, in fact, being made in the arts, having arrived with no fanfare. i was going to leave this at a hostel while i traveled, but it´s a small book, and worth the extra weight so that i can reference it often in my own artsy endeavors.
