A review by nlgn
Jakobs historier by Thomas Mann
4.0
I think this may be my favourite concluding passage from a book ever:
When the earth had closed above the beloved, on the spot where God had taken her, by the wayside, Israel passed on, and made a stage at Migdal Eber, an ancient tower. There Reuben sinned with Bilhah, the concubine, and was cursed.
More happens in those 40-odd words than in the entire span of many books.
