The fuck?

I just went through my third reading of Gombrowicz' "Ferdydurke". I haven't read it in about 7-8 years but I saw a review which said it was "Ferdydurke is one of the most bracing, direct books ever written about sexual desire—this without a single scene of sexual union." so I wanted to reread it with this in mind, something which I didn't take into account in my first 2 readings. It is one of my favorite books in the first place (like top 20) but that review, plus me being more "mature" now and having different tastes as when I had read it the first 2 times, it climbed rank to somewhere in the top 10

Just finished my second passing after having not read it for like 7-8 years and after reading this review: " “Ferdydurke is one of the most bracing, direct books ever written about sexual desire—this without a single scene of sexual union." I wanted to go back through it with that in mind. Definitely better than I remember.

When it comes to Gombrowicz I still like "Bacacay" far more (collection of his earlier short stories).
