Me 🤝 These 60s French experimental novels on materialism.
“Too often, what they liked in the things they called luxury was only the money behind them; they loved wealth before they loved life.”
“The vastness of their desires paralyzed them.”
“Most often, however, all they felt was impatience: they felt ready; they were available; they were waiting to live, they were waiting for money.”
Dang.

Ending a novel about the emptiness of a life spent fruitlessly chasing material comfort and status with a Marx quote is so cold. 😂 here for it.
