diadorim's review against another edition
2.0
On a lu bien mieux de Gracq, et dans l'ensemble on s'ennui. Son style s'embourbe assez rapidement dans les plages bretonnes, et ce qui est aurait pu devenir un petit théâtre-joyau de personnages extravagants en pleine remise en question devient vite un pêlemêle sans grand intérêt.
mouhy's review against another edition
4.0
Merits a second reading. I have a feeling I might have missed some of the allusions whose threads were lost in the subtext.
Reading this novel, with its wealth of metaphors and allegories, I felt transported into Gracq's surreal world, very dream-like with a sense of impending doom. A neglected gem indeed.
