ITT: unpopular opinions

The Tunnel is a waste of a novel. It would have worked better as a fragmented poem, though just as long.

The spirit of the narrative and its themes aren't very well executed in prose form. Even though the novel is structured as an introduction to another work and presumably all things that are happening/have happened in the narrator's life exists OUTSIDE the narrative, which is admittedly interesting and fun, a poem would have worked better with the execution of what the author was trying to do.

Everything is so fragmented already, but the prose blocks several of the elements and ideas the novel wanted to achieve, and it tends to fall into irrelevance instead coming together by the end.

But that's just my observation, I could be wrong.
