@rl_dane @joel @theresmiling I would challenge that it's "just" prose. Some of it seems very poetic to me, especially the final chapters which aremy favorite.
We actually named our daughter after one of Job's.

@thedoctor @rl_dane @joel @theresmiling Haven't looked closely enough at Job but I would definitely agree there's a spectrum between prose and poetry. Some of Ray Bradbury's prose is literally iambic.

@thedoctor @joel @theresmiling I'm guessing Jemima or more likely Kezia. Kerenhappuch doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. Even in German. 😂
