Hey /lit/, let's discuss Hesse's Steppenwolf and it's metaphors. What do you think about it?
Also someone can explain me the role of sensual pleasures in it? This the thing I can't fathom.
It's teen tier spirituality. When you grow up you leave childish things behind.

you don't have to take the message seriously to enjoy it
jungian stuff
i like hesse
i think he has good things to say, and says them in an imaginative, consistent way.
i don't like how everyone dismisses him as 'teenage philosophy'
i don't even even know what that means. i mean, i get it's a way to get everyone to immediately think 'oh no, i'm so above this' but it doesn't seem like a real criticism

I've never read it but I don't think anything hesse wrote is teen tier anything. You're just a cunt who forgot he's not important.
>>8066411
that's a really cool picture though
>>8066416
I got "dont be such a self important serious cunt" from it
