Review of 'Nightwood' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

I'd hoped to like this book. Djuna Barnes seems to have been an interesting, and, from what little I've gathered, admirable person.

The book has short bits of very nice writing, but reading it was not a good overall experience for me. I find I have a hard time relating to love described as a horrible, violent calamity. I believe I am lucky in this regard, but it leaves me out of a lot of conversations.
