I wish I understood this better the first time I read this. I can safely say that I didn't understand the complexity of the text until I went to lecture and tutorial. On the surface it's just a very odd story about a damned man but deeper down there is a tale of a Lutheran who thinks he's lost favour with God and (who I believe) is very lonely and wants a friend but no one understands him so he has to conjure one for himself and God still hates him.
Yes, never would have gotten that the first go around. It is, however, an enjoyable read and get 7 out of 10.
