White Shroud by Antanas Škėma

4.0

My favourite book of all time finally got an English translation and now I can share it with all my friends :))) The book itself is a solid 5/5 for me, but I'm giving the translation itself a 4/4.5 as I don't think there is much that compares to the way nature is described in the original Lithuanian, and the flavour emigrant slang adds to the book. It's just the perfect bundle of perpetual thoughts and existentialism and just the ideal amount of hopelessness. love love love love love
