Satirical, written in a style similar to the count of monte cristo

It's satire, it's absurd, yet there is a ton of philosophy in it. Hell it's funny. Good for reading and rereading.

f* this noise. seriously.

This was the book we read in French class, after finishing Baudelaire and moving class out into the grass for the Spring.

I mostly read this because it was small and fit in my bag. I feel like this was an objectively good book but I didn’t have a good time reading it.
