Finished: Fingal
Belacqua and girlfriend Winnie go for a walk, see an asylum, talk, get separated, and Belacqua flees on a bike—the story explores existential paralysis and the desire for complete emotional and physical confinement. Plot precursors to Murphy and reflections of Zapffe's 1933 essay "The Last Messiah" and the Four Defense Mechanisms.
