Henry Maxwell’s Reviews > The Book of Disquiet > Status Update

As much as I'd love to just grind through this, it is not a book that can be sped through. I find myself returning to it often, if only for a few segments of Pessoa's prose. It speaks to me at different times, but I find if I read too much of it at once, it does get very dark and depressing. At certain times in my most formative years I found solace in this, but now it often brings me down!
