A Season in Hell

Well, another Penguin 60s book way outside of my circle of interest, and far beyond my simple understanding. Reviews love this book, but for me, no thanks.
I struggle through it all (ha ha, it is a 59 page book, the left page in French, the right translated to English, which means it is only a30 page book), though the complexity of the language, the prose (ok so I detest poetry, so this book was always on a hiding to nothing) and the symbolism are completely wasted on me... but I have the good grace not to put a star rating.
