ivan ilych review: midlife crisis with a christian ending

Updating again so I can come back to this quote.“It occurred to him that his scarcely perceptible attempts to struggle against what is considered good by the most highly placed people, those scarcely noticeable impulses which he had immediately suppressed, might have been the real thing, and all the rest false”

Also most the book isn’t as meta as this.

An easy read and I say an important one. Initially was reading on a pdf but found in bookstore for $3. A look back at a mans life while he dies painfully. He discovers he had lived it as he believed was supposed to, but this didnt fulfill him. Quite stoic in its message.
