"2009-08-11 -- Read this over the last couple weeks. It had been too long since I read some of my favorite author.
This book is not cheery. It is, however, a great example of how Hesse can adeptly expose you to someone's troubled awakening. It is also one more example of a Hesse book being eerily similar to my own life."
"This book was really Hesse at his most melancholy. It was beautifully and simply written like much else Hesse has written. I read it over the course of two nights of work. Like many of Hesse's other books it deals with tragic loss, love and self awakening, pointing always to the east. The strongest relationships tend to be friendships between two males rather than a strong love-relationship, which is not uncommon in his work, much like the auto-biographical undercurrents. Really good book."
