yeah, at moments it read a bit clunky and weird, but I imagined how it was written originally (learned Italian for 4 years in high school and can speak it a bit) and then it made much more sense.

The book is great, it is everything I wanted Kafka's Castle to be. I'm so enamoured by it that I watched that old film adaptation the instant I've finished the book. I've read a ton of good books since the pandemic started, but this must be one of the best.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 9 14:41:59 2021 No.18620100 >>18620056 The (lack of a concrete) plot, the atmosphere, the sense of the absurd which it conveys, the heartbreaking ending, It's subjective, I know, but I thought I enjoyed it quite a bit.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 9 14:44:09 2021 No.18620110 >>18620088 Not bad. They changed some things and the dubbing was annoying af, but the cinematography is great and it has Jean-Louis Trintignant in one of the supporting roles, which was a pleasant surprise.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 9 14:46:57 2021 No.18620124 >>18620096 Well , I also found that love affair one but I'm still surprised as to why he hasn't be translated.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 9 14:48:46 2021 No.18620135 Buzzati has some other stuff, too. there's a collection of short stories called "catastrophe". read it.
