Yup. I read it in my early teens and it marked me profoundly. I still have a vivid memory of that scene in which he makes love on the floor with the barmaid. I think it was one of my earliest erotic turmoil. It was also important in the development of my sensibility by showing the pointlessness of certain aspects of life. The Tartar Steppe was also very influential on my personality in that regard, it could have had a spot but I read it a bit later and it would have been redundant.

>>17765163
It is imo, but to appreciate it 'tis better to move chronologically. His earlier work has a unique aesthetic but has more conventional pulp tendencies. His last two collections, especially TG, stake out his philosophy and are more humorous.

>>17765158
I’m serious. I read it for the memes at first. I didn’t expect it to be genuinely amazing.

I found a copy of Fathers and Sons in a Used book shop and bought it for its meme status. (It features in a Copyasta about Bojack Horseman.)

Dumb reason to buy and read a book maybe but I really enjoyed it.

>>17766358
I just read Skylark a week or so ago. I go to school in the town where the novel is set, and being able to picture the novel in my head so clearly made me feel like I was physically there, it was very comfy. Also the casino building in the novel is now a library, which is where I borrowed the book from. Still I think Esti Kornél was better, give it a read if you haven't.

>>17764917
Guys I have a great idea. Guys what if. Guys listen, what if, guys, what if we just listed the names of books with no other context of what they are or why we liked them so we can jerk eachother off for liking popular books while ignoring the more obscure ones because we don't want to call attention to our own ignorance. I bet you could get a lot of (you)s doing that and but help anyone with a damn thing.
