This is a pinnacle of “dead white guy writing,” but I would be lying if I didn’t admit it was also one of the most important books to me as an adolescent. It shouldn't be the sum-total of a reading life, but for the right reader it could be a launching point for a love of a certain kind of book where the character’s interior world and struggle to understand themselves is the center.
