Tom Ghostly on Schlotmann’s „Die Freuden der Jagd“, a 1100 page German-language novel almost no one read

"As demanding as it is, it is quantitatively not only one of the biggest works in german fiction – as I said, it‘s around 1100 pages long, which are printed in extra-wide format -, it‘s also one of the most interesting ones, primarily because of its radical uniqueness. Its uniqueness however does & will not appeal to the majority of readers, & even if it appeals to one or the other, he or she will hardly go so far as to read 1100 densely woven pages of this text, as 300 pages give you a good idea. Having almost no audience of course is a shame, although somehow inevitable in this case. If we remember right, many of the greatest novels of all time have been neglected before they became acknowledged. But if we just let it fade, wither away, it does exactly that, or, to be constant with the imagery: it gets lost in the wood." > https://medium.com/@tom-ghostly/on-schlotmanns-die-freuden-der-jagd-a-german-language-novel-almost-no-one-read-2ee5ff47a989
