The Life and Opinions of the Tomcat Murr by E.T.A. Hoffmann
4.0
Fabulous! I just wish that Hoffmann had lived long enough to write the third book/section. We're left with a cliffhanger that will never be resolved (although I can imagine all sorts of fan fiction possibilities).
The stories of both Murr and Kreisler are fragmentary, fun, suspenseful, action-filled romps. And with all of that, they also contain fantastical and gothic elements.
I will need to read this again so that I can better explain the ways this book works for me.
