This book is a brilliant depiction of the loneliness that encapsulates life in modernity. 
How difficult it is to not be a zombie; how hard it is to make friends and keep them; how excruciating to be vulnerable and expose your soft underside to a cold and uncaring world.

Yet, it’s worth it (in brief random spurts).
