An interesting and poignant jab at a philosophical take wrapped in an absolutely hilarious and gripping story. 4 stars.

Just like Candide, bourgeois satire sailed and crashed here

Reminded me of a very dark comic movie from years back called Very Bad Things. The worst case scenario happens in every scene. And it's ultimately a disguised treatise about nobility, violence, human nature, and much much more. Could've been written in the modern era and wouldn't seem dated. Pretty good read.

A weak critique that no longer applies to modern conditions.
