I really dont like it.

I think it is simply very hard to describe emotions and feelings with the overcomplex german language in a compelling and artistic way. Only few writers manage this and produce masterpieces giving a wonderfull portreit of a character whilest concaying a message.

"Frost" and "Wittgensteins Neffe" by Thomas Bernhard and "Die Klavierspielerin" by Elfriede Jellinek are such great works.
