Willkommen in Falconer

The novel dives deep into the protagonist's struggles, but I wonder if it offers a fresh perspective or relies on familiar tropes. Did anyone else find this aspect compelling or unsettling?

The character's repression seems tied to the pressures of the world around him. I'm curious how others interpret the author's critique of mid-century American values.

The pacing and narrative choices seemed deliberate—did they deepen the emotional impact or make it harder to connect at times? Would love to hear others' thoughts.
