I'd be interested to see what someone who doesn't a dark sense of humor thought about this book. What a ride.

the story was good but it took me SO LONG to read because i simply disliked EVERY character in this book. the end was a bit sad but idk i‘m glad to be through. i got this for 1€ in a thrift store so it was ok but i wouldn’t reread it i‘m a bit disappointed.

There's quite a few connections into Nietzsche (and Schopenhauer) - eternal return, the unravelling of moral guideposts and social structures, his connection of the comic to the tragic - there's more work I need to do to unpick this novel.
