A review by gorgeousgirl
Mimesis: The Representation of Reality in Western Literature - New and Expanded Edition by Erich Auerbach, Edward W. Said

tbh i didn’t read much of the back half, just skimmed v generally. got a bit bored of tracking only the european developments in fiction & just hit a mental wall at some point, especially trekking thru the chapters on early christian writing lol. i’ll come back to it after i’ve read some balzac & salammbo i think
