Review of 'The private memoirs and confessions of a justified sinner' on 'Goodreads'

"It was a bold theme for an allegory, and would have suited that age well had it been taken up by one fully qualified for the task, which this writer was not." (Der fiktive Finder der zweiten Buchhälfte)

Review of 'The private memoirs and confessions of a justified sinner' on 'Goodreads'

This book made me question whether it is a good idea to read the favorite books of your favorite authors. André Gide apparently loved this book. I slogged through it and probably shouldn't have forced myself to read to the end.
