WELCOME!!!

Now... before you Die of Hearbreak due to all of the posts and craziness under me, I would like to explain a bit on how this blog works. So... to my right, I have this thing called "Labels." It is recommended that you start on the "An Introduction" before venturing off at your free will, but choose what you will. Anyways, I have also responded to my own posts, which you can find by clicking on the "comments" under each post. I hope you enjoy your stay here and learn something new about "More Die of Heartbreak" by Saul Bellow! :)

Action?

I would not call this book an action-packed story. Much of it is conversations between Kenneth and his Uncle, with some parts where the narrator (Kenneth) explains some area or what the situation is. This may sound extrememly boring, but what makes up for it are the "deep" and hard-to-answer questions about life: What is love? Where is that thin line between love and lust? How do you keep a relationship alive?

However, I would not like to say that the book does not have an sort of adventure in it. Of course, Kenneth and his uncle both strive to create a strong relationship, and their "adventure" is recorded vehemently. Adventure does not require monsters or a magic place. It can be near the heart.

    I agree with you. Although I would not necessarily call the book very "interesting" adventure-wise, it does have a bit of a light feel to it, and it is interesting, is it not? To see how relationships fall apart so easily...
