[...] Therefore I’ll keep this post short. I
strongly recommend you to read it, along with The New Life or The White
Castle. His is a quite unique style, especially in this novel where the

Thank you for your comment Bart, and for your visit
to my new place I really like your take on love. As for being tired
and confused, well, we all are at a certain point, but I doubt we can
handle it as well as you do.

hallo alina, i’m glad of this story of yours, it’s
opened my eyes again after a particularly difficult period…
if anything, life is about identifying fairness and unfairness, on the
personal and social levels, managing to reconcile the the differences
and realising that personal preferences aren’t always the most
realistic options, even though they might be gratifying at the moment
involved…
love is about caring, love is also about the way we cherish and uphold
the ideals we once understood and valued… love is about recognising
your fellow person as being different but equal in value… love is
about burying petty grieveances, ignoring slights and submerging
perceived differences… once this basis is laid, the world and the
universe becomes a nicer, larger and fantastic place…
the struggles here continue, i am still able to hold on to the values i
cherish but i am so tired and confused, i’m sorry…
keep well…

enjoying the writing.

Thank you Mig and enjoy your reading when you find
it!
No, I only read these two, White Castle and The New Life. And they have
only published these two and My Name is Red in Romania…But I noticed
they are printing all his novels.

Very good review. I’ll read the book as soon as I get my hands on it. Let’s see if I find it in German.
