(Via The Literary Pursuit<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Einige der fett gedruckten B\u00fccher mochte ich nicht, aber „couldn’t stand“ geht zu weit. Der uns\u00e4gliche Zimmer Bradley war mir damals nicht peinlich, heute schon. Und auch bei den unterstrichenen oder nicht unterstrichenen B\u00fcchern bin ich mir nicht immer sicher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Das ganze hat etwas von dem Gesellschaftsspielchen im wunderbaren Changing Places<\/em> von David Lodge. Dort gibt es auf einem geselligen Beisammensein von Literaturwissenschaftlern Punkte f\u00fcr B\u00fccher, die man – m\u00f6glichst als einziger – in der Runde noch nicht gelesen hat. Einer davon, sehr ehrgeizig und wenig l\u00e4ssig, l\u00e4sst sich vom Drang \u00fcberw\u00e4ltigen, bei Wettbewerben gewinnen zu wollen, und scheffelt Punkte mit einem letztlich herausgerufenen „Hamlet!“ Seiner Karriere tut das allerdings nicht gut.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
