I left her because I couldn't see a long term future together. I could just date her but it'd be a sad affair because I think she wanted a relationship which could lead to marriage. Seems that I made the wrong call since I spend quater of my day thinking about her.

this is the first of powys' books ive read, its probably been the most difficult book ive read through just because of how much of a slow burn it is. that being said it was well worth the read. im waiting on my copy of a glatsonbury romance to come in so i can start on that next. the version i have is the unredacted 1994 colgate university press release, which is roughly 30% longer than the typical re releases you may come across. most modern releases of the book are of the original redacted print, so that may have exacerbated the pacing a fair bit.
>>18977956
not really, its was an interesting read certainly but its mostly just axioms for navigating day to day life wrapped in some nearly translated poems. it got quite a few chuckles out of me here and there, but there was a lot of times where i had to stop and think about what i was reading, not because it was terribly deep, but because i wasn't really sure if i was interpreting the text correctly/not being able to interpret it because a phrase is untranslatable. its unfortunate but thats just how translation works sadly.

>> No.18979265

>>18977228
It's bleak and depressing and I gained nothing from it. There are woman power lines in there and overall it can be felt that the book has been written by a female. It lets off a scent to people who think orange-man-bad and appeals to them directly.

It's not a terrible book but as far as dystopias go, there are many better ones out there. THT doesn't deal with issues like how the state can support itself.

>> No.18979301

>>18977228
Not that anon. I only got half way into it before I dropped it, but it see it as pornography for women, like 50 shades of grey. Men taking total control and ownership of women and the world in general turns women on and is missing from the weak men in modern society. BDSM, being chosen as a sex slave and breeding sow, punishment/spanking, and driving otherwise sensible men mad with lust are also fetishes the book caters to.
It probably works as pornographic pulp. As a serious novel, the prose, story, world, and characters are all too weak or absurd for me to take seriously.
