Yawn. Boring story with nonsensical characters and ridiculous plot. If you can even call it a plot. I've read enough philosophy to know I don't like this brand of uppity white people, so call me biased, but there's nothing there. There's no there there. It's empty and hollow and- Honestly makes sense why this would be considered classic literature. There's just no flavor. A pinchings of elements in the story were almost kinda cool, but overall it was a tough read even without the time period-language barrier. (I don't know what else to call it.)
And this book is not queer at all! Whoever tagged it as such lied!
