Many of Tolkien’s works were finished by his son but Tolkien was an old school bong so he likely didn’t have a best friend relationship with his son, only a father-son relationship

The Canterbury Tales would have been much better with more funny stories. Also the cook's second tale.a

I mean it is basically finished. There is just an unfinished chapter. The castle on the other hand is really unfinished. And even better

2666’s ending is unsatisfying but simultaneously it suits Bolaño’s style in that mysterious way

I agree, but most of them evoke a different emotion. I never got the same feeling of pure frustration and anger from any work I’ve read period than from when I read the castle. A longer story does do a better job of putting you into the characters head and making you feel what he feels.

there's great moments but the castle dragssson IMO. Something like the penal colony is just way more tight
