pick someone you want to read the book, faggot

Getting this next week. What am I in for?

3 chapters from the end

>Irimias took all their money and left
>he never shows up again
>everybody eventually goes back home
>nothing changes
>the end

when they all fall asleep and start dreaming and the dreams all run into each other and the sentences start fragmenting and the words start colliding into each other

i'm not even joking

trust me, this is exactly what you're looking for

>muh super long sentences that never end and just go on and on for seemingly no reason, page after page, until you lose focus and drown in the endlessly monotonous stream of misery, but people act like it's somehow brilliant because firstly, depressing things are automatically deep, everyone knows it, and what could be more depressing than this, this shitty Kafka ripoff in a broken down communist farm with a bunch of cunts being cunts to each other, oh and a tragically retarded but innocent child, so fucking deep, and it's all so bitter and dank that people can't help but swallow it down, because something so depressing, and yet so fucking ironic and smug about how depressing it is must surely be deep, certainly so, and secondly the extremely long sentences are somewhat hard to read, and people assume that this also carries a measure of literary prestige, because long winding sentences that never end just seem like the sort of wordy and worthy things that a Great Author would create, and this guy is certainly a Great Author, just well known enough to have been heard of, especially for the /tv/ hipsters who've gobbled down Bela Tarr's even more depressing and pretentious cock, but not too well known to cost them hipster credibility, just right, and people will have heard the name but never read him, because isn't he that guy who writes the super long sentences that never end, surely someone who has finished, and even enjoyed (!) one, or more, of them is a true literary connoisseur, a man of taste and refinement.

anyone read this (or anything else by the author)?

i just saw the film recently and i'm intrigued
