A review by classic_monolith
The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery

5.0

I just reread this old favorite and it still holds for me. Themes of disillusionment with society, isolation, self deprecating humor, depression, and cognitive dissonance are my jam. I can't help but laugh at the isolated heady pompousness and the relentless self and other judging. My younger self has too much in common with the central characters.
