Nadja by André Breton
3.0
i’m going to level with y’all!! the first part went over my head completely but i was hoping that the second part would make more sense with the introduction of nadja. news alert- i was even more confused. normally with classics, i just jump right into them and i’m good. but this one made me wish that i had read this in an english class or something. having a teacher there to help me understand the main themes and points would’ve been great. also being able to discuss this (to fill in gaps) with other students would have been helpful.
because reading this on my own wasn’t a great experience. i can’t say that i hated it or loved it, or even felt ok about it. i can’t say really anything about it because i didn’t fully understand it. i know that it’s one of the best surrealist books out there. but i don’t know what that means.
but you know what? i got out of my comfort zone (thanks to patti smith and elif batuman), and i’m proud of myself. who knows? maybe one day someone will post an in depth analysis of this on youtube, and i’m willing to give it another shot.
if you’re interested, i say give it a shot and then maybe we can talk about it! i just don’t recommend buying a physical copy at full price. try to find a copy at your library, or buy it used.
