Occasionally there seems to be the suggestion that those are really the same thing.
Glad to be of service then. I feel that I ought to find something else of note to recommend really but I can’t quite think of anything as momentous as the former two. Goodbye to Berlin is good and Orlando is one of those things that people gush over until they realise that it’s pretty much Vita Sackville-West fanfiction, though that really makes it rather more fun I’ve always thought. How about an anti-rec then? Buddenbrooks is supposedly absolutely hideous to read though I’ve never tried it myself. On the other hand, I was always rather fond of his Doktor Faustus...
