Storygraph recommended this as "out of my comfort zone" and true because I really struggle with stream of consciousness books like this. However, the theme and topic and the melodramatic narrator was right up my alley. I haven't read Aciman's foreword but the spirit of this is definitely in CMBYN, and it has in fact made me understand it better. Quite a surprise, but most welcome!
