A review by worstarchitect
Nausea by Jean-Paul Sartre

3.0

The novel parts were pretty good, the philosophical treatises were not. Made me not want to read anything about existentialism. They were sometimes a little interesting but mostly it was just the same thing over and over about how things exist and isn't it so fucked up how things exist. Things do be existing, that much is true. Just didn't expect it to be so flat. I'm sure actual existentialist philosophy is more complicated than that but the way it was presented here was boring. I did like the parts where he was losing his mind a little bit, so relatable. I loved the part with the portraits in the museum.
