I finished reading The Manuscript Found in Saragossa, and I wasn't so impressed. I think Potocki used up his best material in the first third, and the effort of tying the stories together didn't really work for me. And the ending is a total disaster.
I'm not if the school that says that the ending of a novel can break the whole thing if it's not good, especially not for such a mosaic novel as this one. But I was really losing steam by 2/3 of the way through, and I only pushed through to see how Potocki would end it, and was very disappointed.
