This book gave me a LOT of existential dread and hopelessness for the future. Didn't realise it was because of it in the beginning however and reportedly the timing was also to blame. The dialogues and people feel very real and I really liked how the directing tips are incorporated throughout. In the end I wanted to throw the book across the room and tbh I did a few times. All my fault for, despite knowing his style of storytelling, I dared momentarily to hope in a somewhat happy ending. Don't do that lol. Really nice play and I also really liked the essay at the end. It felt like I was reading his journal.
