Yet another pretentious book about how how humanity will never be anything but depressed and terrible people. Not to mention this is of course only written about the most privileged in our society.

by the end of this book i was wanting to annotate it (never felt that feeling in my life) and all of the themes and symbols were punching me in the face. unfortunately i was reading doms copy, so maybe this summer i will purchase my own and reread and annotate and analyze it. so because of that desire i have to rate it 5 stars, right? shout out to the pulitzer prize committee from 2010 they did a good job
