An insightful thought piece about the author's view of his life and society as a whole. Similar to a Forest Gump situation where everything that happened could have happened to anyone at the right place and time. The consideration on what it means to try winning in an entire world constructed for your failure to benefit them was mulled over endlessly in different ways that seemingly never dulled. I would recommend this to anybody interested in racial disparity and the socialist movement of the early 1900s. It sadly still is mostly true about today. 

Author does, however, not provide women any characteristics other than nyphomatics, damsels in distress, or motherly.
