after finishing this book earlier today, it became apparent that despite how often it is discussed, almost no one on this board has actually read it, fewer still have understood it on a basic level, and even fewer (perhaps none) have comprehended it at all in any meaningful sense. are you all lazy pseuds?

I thought you said you comprehended it in a meaningful sense, I assumed you would have something interesting to say about it

asking someone to reduce an encyclopedic novel that weaves dozens of threads of art, politics, and history into one of the most subtle, complex, and emotionally resonant narratives of the 20th century to trite "but what does it meaaaan" pablum is not a question of comprehension. the fact that i've yet to read a single post on this board that got even basic facts about it right, on the the hand, most certainly is.
