I don't know how, but this book strikes a chord with me. How exactly the character Isabel exists is essential to my feelings that resonate with how she explains who she actually is. Sorry, I'm actually feeling like someone can explain what I'm going through and it eases the stress of my worser feelings.

Excellent Russian novel about Bazarov the 'nihilist' and 'new man' showing the persistence of modernity.

It took me a long time to finish this book. I liked it much more when compared to Charterhouse of Parma.

The main character's love of coffee gives the reader the idea that he is a connoisseur of good coffee from different parts of the world like Kenya or Mexico. I enjoy reading about his bovine faced students at the community college who keep looking at their phones in a dull anxiety for the future moment. I like how he plays Stravinsky's Rite of Spring and likens it to the moment before you are mutilated. Revealing.

I see how a critic called this his “Bernhardian project” because I see some of Benrhard (after reading Concrete and The Loser) in this book.

What is admirable about this book is that it focuses on a real love for electronic music without all that wrongness it could easily sink into negativity with. I feel a strong bond with Marcel and his music tastes! Great so far!
