Status Updates From The Death of Olivier Becaille

I will be writing a review (when I find the motivation to do so) but (being brief) if this were not a novella, I would have given it a full five stars. It feels very pretentious of me to say this but I feel as though I could have been changed and moved by this story. I think I will continue to regard it highly but it sadly falls just short of the full 5 stars. I may change my mind though, who knows? 4.25/5

How childish it had been of me to dread the long, dreamless sleep, the eternity of silence and gloom! Death was kind, for in suppressing life it put an end to suffering.

I experienced such utter lassitude that it seemed almost a relief to leave off hoping.
