A review by nicktraynor
Ecce Homo: How One Becomes What One Is by R.J. Hollingdale, Friedrich Nietzsche, Michael Tanner

4.0

I suspect that Nietzsche is an unreliable narrator of his own life in this autobiography, but it is still interesting to hear his perspective on his own works. There is undeniably an air of mania about this book and its proximity to his breakdown is fascinating. He disparages decadence a lot in Ecce Homo and he refers to himself as an "immoralist" a lot. He also talks about his work on the transvaluation of all values, which offers tantalising glimpses at what this book may have entailed if it were finished.
