I found this book in a second-hand bookshop and, as its never been added on good reads before, it seems to be one of those that has long faded into obscurity.
This is the type of book that ensnares you with its first words - "It is fashionable today for a writer to sit down and ask himself who he is, so long as his quest for identity ends fruitlessly and the answer remains no one, nothing..." - and then it becomes something more.
This is one of the first books that became a person to me. It made claims about life that were so out of societal acceptance that I wanted to bring the author back to life for an argument.But, the farther you sink into these first unacceptable ideas, the more they seem to make sense.
If you make it to the end and your view on life hasn't been flipped upside down, you didn't read it correctly.
