Status Updates From An American Tragedy

Wow this book feels pretty long 🫪

The lure of status and comfort and the "freedoms" they bring. Poor Clyde. Led astray by Sondra's selfish vengeful intentions. Oh how I can relate this to my own life!

Dreiser should give good reason why Roberta doesn't just GET ANOTHER JOB! Otherwise we have unrealistic tension in the story as the only conflict is that Clyde shouldn't date any of the women that work for him. oh well

Boy, this is a slog. There is supposed to be a good payoff. Way too many words so far.
