thanks, i'll add that to my list

Don't read any summaries, by the way. They'll make it sound like shit. Just read the story. It's not too long.

...

Growth of the Soil

Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius

Everything Flows

Annihilation

Complete Manuel for Suicide

Magic Mountain

Stoner

Why? I thought it sounded pretty cool.

Anyone got a PDF? It's neither on b-ok or libgen.

Actually, I've just googled a few English summaries and they seemed alright. I was thinking of the German one on the back of the edition I own which describes the story purely as a "Christian-Humanist allegory" without making note of its actual plot or quality as prose.

It really is a fascinating story.

>Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius

perfect answer, thanks.
