Ah, I chose a good cover, so it looks better.
It's an existentialist novel about a painter returning to his rural homeland, contemplating how everything is horrible, mommy/daddy problems, questioning the techniques and purpose of art, etc. A bit Dostoyevskyan. Today it's probably not the most original premise, but the selling point for me is the style, very ornate, bombastic and intense, I found it very entertaining. Sartre regarded it highly too, as a sort of a precursor to his own Nausea.
