Utterly authentic genius 👏. Kierkegaard understands a great many matters; and if one has the sagacity to understand him, his literature unravels profound depth. Either/Or is a masterpiece of both philosophical genius and literary brilliance.

Angry Mofo:
This book strongly reminded me of Nabokov, which I really was not expecting. But think about it -- this is a fictitious edited volume of essays by fictitious authors (one of whom explicitly comments on statements by another), compiled by a fictitious editor. Not only that, but one of the essays is about the seduction of a young girl by a hyper-aesthete, who has no ethical sense, and who finds very subtle nuances of attraction in ephemeral emotional states. "How this anxiety enhances your beauty! Still, anxiety in itself is not beautiful; it is so only when one sees at the same time the energy that overcomes it." (257) If you don't hear Humbert Humbert in that, you will if you keep reading; here's another one: "Most men enjoy a young girl as they do a glass of champagne, and with many young girls it's no doubt the most one can make of it." (282) It goes on like this for a long time, long internal monologues that savour the aesthetic pleasure of turns of phrase and inner flights of fancy that end up digressing quite far from whatever figment of reality had originally motivated them.
Different parts of the book use different styles. Particularly striking is...

Fisicamente o livro é muito frágil, capa e páginas finíssimas, parece jornal.
Sobre o texto, há vários cortes no texto, ou seja, faltam partes, que pra quem pretende estudar faz muita diferença. Além da colocação de parágrafos onde não existe no original.
Enfim, acho que não vale a pena nenhum leitor brasileiro comprar essa edição. Existe o Ou-ou em versão portuguesa e espanhola, divididos em dois volumes que são mais caros mas valem a pena.

I didn't realize it was abridged when I bought it. However the reason I bought this edition was to have it all in a single copy, so I did get what I ordered.
Some 'Diapsalmata' were removed from part one. I enjoyed these passages and was slightly disappointed by this. One essay from part one is missing, as are later passages that make reference to it ('First Love, Comedy in One Act by Scribe, translated by J.L. Heiberg'). Other passages are truncated in various places, which hasn't bothered me so far (most omissions are in part two, and I haven't gotten there yet). I also suspect that combining the two parts into one volume also forced the translator to keep his annotations brief.
