3.5
An unusual book, that's pretty dark and depressing, with somewhat outdated themes. It's literary fiction so they don't always make much sense, but I could still appreciate the artistry of the writing, and there were some really notable and thought provoking philosophical sentences said by the protagonist.
The book is much more interesting when you know the story of the author's life. It felt like I was really listening to the thoughts of the author, not the MC.
I listened to the Spotify audiobook which was excellently read, but is why I don't have any highlights to share.
