Someone asked me what the book was about bc I was carrying it around PERFORMATIVELY and even though I'm 50% of the way through the book I was like ?? I don't know the devil is in Moscow, everyone is going insane, there's a Pontius Pilate subplot and there's a cat that walks around on its hind legs and takes the trolley. Also I love it.

“nothing i his life could be repaired anymore, all he could do was to forget”

I fear I do not know what is going on

Amor Towles is the page version of Wes Anderson and it is so lovely.

I wish the doctor would stfu. I do not want to read a soliloquy on the time dependent definition of incurable. Especially after we’ve waited probably 50 pages for the answer to the stupid question. The non-answer is likely intentional but I am nevertheless irritated with this guy

i like book

Post global trauma-trauma! The desperation and resignation of a monotonous and suffered life! The anxiety of otherness! The weightlessness of existence when buoyed by wealth, privilege, beauty, youth! The excitement of adventure! Feminine self assessment as written by a man!

This book is so boring and also not. Confused. There are zero characters who aren’t reprehensible in some way, maybe that’s the point. But I root for no one here. So internet heavy. Why are half the pages filled with recitations of Tweets? There’s some critique here about how the internet makes us disgusting monsters, heavily about white victimhood, moderately the publishing industry.

I don’t know any of these words but the vibes are great.
Example list of some of said words over just 20 pages that I do not know and do not plan to look up:
ewer
fulminating
anathemas
confabulation
sago
every french word
ignis-fatuus
caper (verb)
chimeras (not gene related nor the mythical creature)
charwoman
festooned
victualage
repast

DO NOT READ FOOTNOTE #9 IN CHAPTER 15!!!! Massive spoiler >:( big mad
I’ve been RAPT up to this point, feels like 50 Shades if 50 Shades was the most elegantly written book and also lacked explicit sexuality. The 50 Shades of witty implicit sexuality.
