i don’t think i’ve disliked a character as much as him… so annoying
Disturbing. I hate sand now. Erotic but I don’t know why. A very weird book. I liked it!
An amateur entomologist sets out to the sand dunes, obsessed with discovering a new species of insect so that it will bear his name - proof that he lived and accomplished something and left a legacy. Instead, he is captured and forced to live in a sand pit with a woman, shoveling every night to keep the sand from covering the house. The book follows his winding, increasingly unmoored existentialist meditations on what a meaningful life actually as he breaks apart under the weight of his Sisyphean task.
