Can't risk my eyes anymore with this inhumanly sized print; have to give this one up until I can find a book-sized magnifying glass.
Wie schmeckt mir der Siebenkäs ? Soll ich Hesse zustimmen, der sich daran labte? oder Goethe, dem es nicht bekömmlich war? Ich muß gestehen, die pausenlose ironisch - satirische, dazu altertümliche Sprache wurde mir endlich zu viel des Guten und als ich auf den Satz stieß: (151) befolgte ich Jean Pauls Rat und gab auf.
Ich möchte den Roman trotzdem nicht verdammen - gefiel mir doch seine 'Badereise' (https://www.librarything.com/work/2356409/reviews/131697631 ) - und es jedem Leser*in überlassen, sein/ihr eigenes Urteil zu fällen. (I-25
