A review by fitrisiain
Un uomo finito by Giovanni Papini

5.0

This book isn't for the weak. The title says "The Failure" but this book is actually about a rebound of a man from a personal crisis. The title says "The Failure" and indeed contains chapters about remorse, self-loathe, disgusts but progressed beautifully in fifty chapters offering the rationale of why life deserves a punch back.

A very interesting and intimate life account of a rebellious young man from his childhood to thirties. Highly recommended for the readers around this age. Best reading I've had this year next to René, obviously.
