Josh Dale rated a book it was ok Unfit by Ariana Harwicz	Error rating book. Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
This one wasn’t all what I hoped. Intensely fast, deranged, kind of boring plot, and a very unreliable narrator. It was hard to remember what happened at various points. I would’ve given 1 star if it wasn’t for some witty wordplay and well-times meta ...more

A hazy wave of prose. An uncouth, horny fever dream. Brutal confessions of a murderer. Melchor’s novel of incel-burnouts descent into madness are a mirror into modern society. Backwoods meets the bourgeoisie A predictably violent conclusion and full ...more

Josh Dale rated a book really liked it Create Dangerously: The Power and Responsibility of the Artist by Albert Camus	Error rating book. Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
A short, dense essay of Camus’ vision of the postmodern artist. The plight to pursue one’s freedom and studies with courage and intent was a nice thesis. Many nuggets of wisdom to revisit over time.
