1 1/5 stars ???? I guess ??? Only because I laughed at some dialogues and it was entertaining… I think. I’m just really confused.

Yes.

Limited the stars because the text in this edition was hand-written, and hard to read, and the art was printed over much of the text. Difficult to parse some of it.

does not read well at all but would love to see a good production

This is a turning point in historical avant-garde.
funny fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character

Pre-Surrealist, heard a bunch about it, not bad--clearly a riff on MACBETH and the hegemony of Shakespearean tragic heroes, a fart in the face of monarchy and probably more.
challenging funny reflective fast-paced

Wtf just happened

Utterly baffling and ridiculous, while also being strangely cutting and insightful.

Una puntuació que diu més del meu optimisme lingüístic que del llibre en sí, està gracioset però he hagut de llegir al mateix temps el llibre en castellà per enterar-me i això diguem que ha ralentit el gaudi
