![]() It helps ease some of the larger existential anxiety, because you get the feeling that you aren't the only one. The struggle is intensely, intimately relateable, and that I think, is what great writing is about. There is something reassuring about getting inside the head of someone so troubled about their social identity. ![]() ![]() Osamu Dazai gives his character a nagging need that is compelling and drives both the conflict and the unnerving ennui-imbued voice throughout. I think it really works in its own way though. But it boy o boy is it similar, just like the other reviewer mentioned. Anyway! I should have expected this book would make some sort of Albert Camus-esque social commentary, but since it's from a Japanese author I didn't immediately jump to that conclusion. She refers to the social scene in the States as "The Masquerade", which I feel is pretty accurate. And she talks a lot about the cultural differences between France and the States, especially when it comes to socializing. I joke with her a lot about her French philosophical perspectives, you know 'laissez-faire', 'je ne sais pas' type stuff. ![]() ![]() My girlfriend (who is French) gave this to me in book form for my birthday, and then I realized that Audible recently added it so I secretly listened to it instead. ![]()

The Triplanetary part moves rapidly, and even though I knew what was coming, I was impatient for the next unfolding of the story. The semiautobiographical part of the third part is absolutely fascinating. I found it hard to stop listening when I had to. I have to disagree with those who feel the first three parts of this book should be skipped. As an audio book, Smith's stilted writing, especially about the emotions of the characters is not as bad. I re-read it about 10 years ago an found difficulty with the writing. This book is much better as an audio book. I haunted the Brooklyn Public Library until I read the entire series.
