Manea, The Trenchcoat
I do not have much to say about this novel as I felt lost throughout the whole book. It might be something that I missed at the start of the reading which then made me be lost through the reading but I just found it too confusing. I got lost between all the names on the books and all the conversations between the people which made me not enjoy the reading at all.
Even though i was very confused throughout the reading, I was able to pick up on the fact about the trench coat which at the firsts times it is mentioned, it is not a big thing at all and even though I tried to look for specific objects which might have more meaning for the novel other than their main purpose. I did not think of the trenchcoat being of big importance until later on the reading.
Another thing that got me a little confused is about the character called “the kid” which i did not fully understand who he is and the fact of him being referred to just as “the kid” brought even more confusion to me than if he would have just been called by his name.
Overall this was a very confusing reading for me and I was not able to understand everything that was going on. Even if it was very confusing, I will try to read as many blogs as I can and try to understand what was happening as I am very excited for Thursday’s lecture in which we will get to speak with Manea which is definitely an exciting thing. Because of all of this, my question for this blog is if anyone felt some bits of confusion over this novel and why do you think that was?.
