Die Schwimmende Oper: Roman

The novel delves deep into questions of identity and morality. I'm curious what motivated Barth to tackle these complex ideas through this story.

The confined setting really amps up the suspense for me, but I wonder if others found it a bit restrictive or claustrophobic.

The shifting perspectives and reflections seemed deliberate — I wonder if Barth planned this structure from the start or developed it during writing.
