Salaambo has objectively better prose than The Opposing Shore while the latter has objectively better atmosphere than the former, did you somehow reverse these two choices?

>> No.18423692

I was very hesitant between the two. I think in the end I prefer Gracq's prose which is more poetic but I agree that Flaubert probably has more control over the way he writes.

I never truly understood the power of atmosphere until i read Middlemarch. Even the atmosphere of Ulysses pales in comparison.
