The article says that the narrator is "coincidentally" called H. H. Is this sarcasm (out of place in a WP article), or do we actually know that Hesse was not referring to himself with the initials? The former seems more likely to me. --69.254.41.106 01:46, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"What he chooses, and the final dénouement, is a stroke of Hesse's typical Eastern mysticism at its finest.": This part of the summary reads more like the blurb on the back of a novel. It does not give a complete account of the full plot through the ending. Teridactyl —Preceding undated comment added 01:02, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
