Melmoth the Wanderer Charles Robert Maturin
You read it for the feverish, maze-like storytelling, as Melmoth turns up in Stanton’s tale and in the strange histories of Immalee and Monçada. It’s long-winded, grim, and often wonderfully excessive, best suited to a patient reader who enjoys gothic dread more than tidy plotting.
Six Characters in Search of an Author Luigi Pirandello, translated by Edward Storer
You get a wonderfully unsettling theatre rehearsal where six unfinished characters interrupt the actors and insist their suffering is more real than performance. It’s funny, argumentative, and deliberately slippery, especially if you enjoy questions about identity and art more than tidy emotional resolution.
