Mehso-so

You need a lot of background knowledge on the Chinese revolution to be able to understand the action — of course, it‘s about deeper questions, not the action. The dialogue doesn‘t translate well into English, I‘m sure it‘s much more readable in French.

But it asks the big questions succinctly, if nakedly, you can tell Camus used a lot of it for The Plague. that said, I had to slog through some parts

BarbaraBB Kudos for finishing, I bailed halfway 🤷ðŸ»â€â™€ï¸ 2y

A visit to The Tall Girl at college also means a visit to my favorite used book store. 2 #ModernLibrary 2 #NYRB 2 Jane Gardams and a Muriel Spark! Plus a book of pieces on writer‘s favorite books. I made out very well today.

LeahBergen Nice! ðŸ‘ðŸ»ðŸ‘🻠5y

I know it is a classic and not even that hard too read, but the theme (the Shanghai uprising of 1927) seemed quite outdated to me and I frankly think I can die without finishing this one... #1001books

Kristelh I really liked this one, but may be I‘m older 🤨 6y
BarbaraBB @Kristelh Haha! I think I have maybe given up too soon but I really could not manage it at the time! 6y
