Date: October 10th, 2025 6:44 PM Author: boyish mauve legal warrant stag film Norway's post war government prosecuted literary lion Knut Hamsun for collaboration with the Nazis during the occupation. He was in his 90s at the time. while he was under house arrest and subjected to weeks of compulsory psychiatric examination at an oslo mental hospital, he wrote an account of the case and defense of his activities in the war. The account was published under the title, "on overgrown paths." It's an exceptional work by a nonagenarian. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5785069&forum_id=2],#49340592) |

Date: October 10th, 2025 1:07 PM Author: Cerebral copper tanning salon Depends on the book. His weirdest shit, gravity's rainbow, is readable but in a strange way. Often it's individual episodes that are linked thematically with a shitton of individual character plot lines that often don't intersect.

Date: November 9th, 2025 4:45 AM Author: metaepistemology is trans The prose itself is not difficult to read but there is often no linear plot, so if that's what you are looking for then not for you. Also some of the stuff like Gravity's Rainbow is filled with obscure engineering references, mathiness and pop culture nods to the point where noone will catch every one (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5785069&forum_id=2],#49413748) |

Date: November 9th, 2025 4:54 AM Author: ,.,..,.,..,.,.,.,..,.,.,,..,..,.,,..,.,,. crying of lot 49 was extremely funny in parts. the whole sub-plot with the midget submarine, for example. gravity's rainbow is fascinating but can take some research, since he was playing around with causality/order of events through a lot of the book.
eg, slothrop's abreactions and erections imply that his timeline is toroidal rather than linear, like the arc of a V2 rocket. the phrase 'beyond the zero' is an entendre for dipping below the 'zero' of a plane or the current reading of a linear timeline and curving back around, thus creating bizarre causal consequences. it's more explicitly science-fiction than other books he did. |
