Louis Levy - Kzradock the Onion Man and the Spring-Fresh Methuselah

[giantsilkmoth]

A weird little curio for sure. An extremely odd novel from 1910, appreciated by Benjamin and Scholem, that's somewhere between gothic horror, detective farce, and psychoanalytic drama. It's not fully satisfying - I actually think the second section is too short - and the ending twist and resulting philosophy fall a little flat on me and how I think about things. But! It's a quick read and both thought-provoking and fun, I am glad I read it.
