Reception

Nicholas Lezard, in The Guardian, said of the English translation: "there was a Lobster-shaped hole in world literature which has now been neatly filled by this remarkable work".[1] In The Daily Telegraph, Sam Leith put it in a list of 'Mad Stuff'.[2] Kirkus Reviews called it a "brief, bizarre, boiling broth of surrealism, romantic fatalism and slapstick",[3] and Publisher's Weekly said it was "both tender and appalling".[4]

gollark: For kernelly stuff Zig is neat.
gollark: Not really kernels or whatever, yet.
gollark: Actually, it's that Rust is a good C replacement in applications/many libraries.
gollark: C is technically not TC, but it's... practically good enough that it can, theoretically, do anything another language can.
gollark: While it technically isn't NECESSARY, you get more expressive power out of actually having a working type system and modules.
