Doctor Glas is the greatest novel written in Western Europe during the 20th century.
No novel in the modern era has pinpointed male and female narcissism with such pristine precision. Symbolism at its highest level and as provocative as Lolita.
This book should be international canon.

Proust did it better. Proust is always better. Let me guess, you just discovered Söderberg and will proceed to make him your personality for the next few weeks?

No. I read it for the first time approximately 20 years ago. It’s been part of the curriculum of Swedish school system for quite some time. Looks like your anger has clouded your mind so much that you mistake earnestness for what you’re projecting.

no, thanks.

It certainly is not. It is about the nature of “young” female sexuality and narcissism contra male narcissism, sexuality atheism and god almighty. Very succinct.

No, it’s about idealization of female sexuality and how it relates to male narcissism. It’s not one dimensional. There is the idea of the pre-roast, the roast meal and both are adamant to understanding one self. If any novel would contain multiple archetypes of anima, is that just a roastie novel?

It sounds interesting. I'm just a little suspicious of the diary format. Nabokov said the diary form is a mistake. Or maybe he was just talking about Sartre's novel.
