Well I read him. The wild ass’s skin. First few pages were great, brought me into the realm of Dostoyevsky and White Nights. I found the naturalist style of describing a room for multiple pages to be draining and of little value. At least when Zola did it he used personification at length

Zola. It's not even close.

>> No.14790265

>>14790254
oh. Then I'd go with Balzac, but the only thing I've read from Zola is Germinal

>> No.14790272

Definitely Zola but that doesn't mean Balzac isn't good
