Merle, et al.,
IN THE PENAL COLONY was too distressing enough for me. ;-)
But what a writer. Remarkable.
METAMORPHOSIS I also don't touch, after a few readings separated by decades.
;-)
TNX!
I must say, thinking about rather special authors, that I really love Hesse's
THE GLASS BEAD GAME (MAGISTER LUDI). Its strange but all-too-recognizable
"world" echoes and is watered by leakages from my connection with formal Zen
practice and its organizational structures (through history, and today); and
surely my Catholicism; and, my early career in professional academic western
Philosophy. Others will like it well enough for the story.
;-}
My futon is directly on the floor, for your reason quoted below.
