Is this something you actually read or is it a meme to put on your shelf?

>>	Anonymous Sat Jan 12 13:09:41 2019 No.12394275 >>12394262 I doubt it's worth the expensive price.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jan 12 13:10:25 2019 No.12394280 >>12394275 Right now it’s “on sale” at the Dalkey Archive for $56 Wondering if it’s worth it

>>	Anonymous Sat Jan 12 13:21:35 2019 No.12394339 I read the whole thing, it was great. The thing is like a tome, weighs probably 50 lbs.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jan 12 13:53:53 2019 No.12394537 Georg and Schmidt are the pinnacle of modernist lit Forget Joyce

>>	Anonymous Sat Jan 12 13:55:30 2019 No.12394549 >>12394467 I've seen it compared to Finnegans Wake but there actually seems to be something to follow here, outside of the obfuscation and egregious amount of references.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jan 12 13:55:33 2019 No.12394550 >>12394537 Go back into your containment thread.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jan 12 13:56:28 2019 No.12394558 >>12394339 So you’re saying I should order it?

>>	Anonymous Sat Jan 12 13:57:00 2019 No.12394560 >>12394550 concentrate

>>	Anonymous Sat Jan 12 13:58:02 2019 No.12394567 >>12394558 Yes, it's worth the price. Especially if it's on sale, that's a steal.

>>12394558
I'm pretty sure this book is going to be one of those sought-after curios that makes it prohibitively expensive a few decades down the line. From an investment perspective you'd be nuts not to.
haha, not a representative of Dalkey Archive or anything haha

>>	Anonymous Sat Jan 12 14:00:00 2019 No.12394578 >>12394339 Can second this, surprisingly a really good read, as I've found with any Schmidt. >>12394537 I'm not familiar with the name Georg, any recs?

>>	Anonymous Sat Jan 12 14:04:34 2019 No.12394597 >>12394549 I feel like Schmidt, in his later works, uses the form and style of FW as a guideline to attempt recreation of pure speech in the main narrative column.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jan 12 19:43:05 2019 No.12396402 If you like a certain kind of fiction you'll really enjoy it but otherwise it's very tedious. It's basically an aquired taste, like Fernet Branca.
