iliad yes, odyssey no

the iliad is full of nice speeches and descriptions of battles. That's comfy to me.

the Odyssey is just stressful to read imo. Just fucking GO HOME already. He is only actually travelling home for the middle third of the book.

>The description of the jewish ghetto and the atmosphere in general is to notch.
I don't know if you've been to Prague, but the description is very faithful to the atmosphere which can still be breathed in some areas of the ghetto, especially the cemetery. I've read the book after visiting the city, and it was like being teleported back there
