Rosshalde
By Hermann Hesse
I recently reread Rosshalde because I was curious about an alternative to Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow - an author exploring what it means to live as and pursue art in a non-linguistic medium. I found what feels more authentic, more meaningful and a bit more depressing. Hesse continues in my opinion after a few decades of reading him, to be Very Good...although this reads as maybe a bit more personal, a bit less generated towards a general audience. It is a quick read, a bit fraught, good stuff but probably would not be my first recommended book by Hesse for anyone.

Butterflies
By Hermann Hesse
A cute and lovely collection of prose on butterflies. The poetry - I've read some of Hesse's poetry before, and I can't really tell if he is a bad poet or it doesn't come across in translation? For a writer I love so much I am a bit inclined to believe the latter, but I mostly find his poetry lacking. But the prose is cute and lovely - if you are a fan of Hesse's work, it is definitely worth a quick peruse. And I learned that apparently Schmetterling is not the only German word for butterfly, which is heartening.
