dark emotional sad tense medium-paced

3.5

At one point the auther identifies himself as many things including sane and able-bodied, and this books challenges if that statement is true. It's hard not to see the author as a person who lacks meaningful support in an uncaring place while trying to live with a mean brain and a history of trauma. The disgust and hatred the author has for both the himself and the rest of the world is heartbreaking. 

That said, the renderings are fantastic, and the writing, while bitter and soaked in doom, immerse the reader  into Schulz depressing view on exisitance. 

I think this book could be valuable for folks that have not had to reckon with the meat they're made of, to consider the experience of being afraid and alone, to reckon with the existential fear of unknown sickness, or anyone who's wondering what its like to be depressed and lack the will to go on*
