This book holds a mirror to the lies humanity creates about nihilism.
It has a feral honesty which the Hemmingway-esque prose underscores.
Its beginning and end lines are outstanding.
Comparable in substance to 1984.
Don't expect to like it.
Contains racism/sexism.
Of its time, yet relevant.
Read if you write.

CJ lost the plot a long time ago. Now, she writes to explore where all paths lead, collecting crumbs of perspective as her pen travels. One day, she may have enough for a cake, which will, no doubt, be fruity.
