I can’t get into ‘Melancholia’ by Mircea Cartarescu?
So I recently got my hands on Melancholia by Cartarescu, after many recommendations from friends. I’m currently about 100 pages in and I just don’t get it? I mean I GET the story(stories) and what they are about. I get the symbolism and the poetry, but to me it’s just densely packed and unnecessarily purple prose.
I can totally feel his passion for writing and the subjects are heavy and thought worthy but it’s just … too much over-the-top with associations and metaphors (for me!).
Does anyone else feel like this? Is it just this book? Should I try some of his other works instead? Currently it kind of feels like a chore to get through.
