Decadence at its finest.

That book has some beautiful writing. Here's one of my favourite passages:
>Reason is the most unstable raft, as Mrs Golson was learning. She suspected that she, and any other refugee from life lashed to its frail structure, was threatened with extinction by the seas of black unreason on which it floated, sluiced and slewing.

Did you not see me call you Bruce nor cunt neither?

I’m not OP, and I figured that was some sort of typo. You fags always complain about the author being well known, when the work itself is relatively unknown—hence its being a hidden gem. Look at William Goldings works outside of Lord of the Flies. They are barely read at all, yet he is a well known author. You’re a fag and a cunt and probably a queer too

I'm so sorry for your linguistic disability, mate.
And for your habit of only reading single texts from famous authors rather than the works.

I’ve read the Scandinavians in this group, except for Eyvind Johnson. But he is also out of print on Sweden, so that doesn’t help matters.

I've read Reymont and Sienkiewicz. Chłopi is one of the most beautiful books I've ever read.
