My point was that in this instance I felt the author set out to make ´The inaccessible´
and succeeded.
Regardless of resonance IMHO it was
intentionally tough to read, and the plot hung several lanterns on this fact throughout the work; the toughest of my meager career.
And Yes, if reading a book I personally didn´t enjoy qualified it as ¨Tough¨ there would indeed be a long list.
