Is it bad that I instantly cringed when someone IRL was talking about how great it was even though I've never actually read it?
>>8097788
By far the worst book I ever read to completion, and was told it was a masterpiece.

Oh god... I remember slogging through that shit back in high school because our sophomore English teacher assigned it. Terrible fucking book.

It's just this horrifically dry book about an abortive New England affair that goes nowhere slowly and ends with one of the most idiotic suicide attempts in literary history.

translated portuguese is awful to read,but besides that,what is so bad about this novel?
>>8099350
Basically small new england town, awkward affair, sleigh ride that ends badly, all in turgid post-colonial prose by a stereotypical female sentimentalist.
>>8099380
why so intolerant
>>8099391
I actually enjoy female authors on occasion, but the stereotype derived somewhere (pic related).
Atwood, Ferrante, Munro; Wharton is not.

its not only bad. its plagiarism.
he stole the story from "Historia de los dos que soñaron" of borges, a 3 pages story LOL
This book is his best. Esoteric as fuck.
Brida and Manual of Warrior of Light are also great, and The Alchemist is classic. Smd OP
>>8097788
