I bet you wear boots and hipster glasses and sigh to yourself about the absurdity of life a lot. take your trash recs and shove em up your loose patchouli smelling asshole

Why should I read it?
I don't think you can call it a 'rec' if you just give the title, its just not helpful in motivating somebody to read the book.

It's a war novel in a sense, about how a person is used by things such as ideology, ideas and other people, but also by pleasure, desire, money. This is illustrated in the three families that are the main focus of the novel.

It's a novel about the illusory nature of victory, about the dehumanization of man as a result of someone's mere will, about how those who were controlled are the worst at controlling others later on etc.

If you like existential realism, you might dig it.

Tbh I read it because I was looking for novels where young guys visit whores, like Stephen in A Portrait.

i dont think there is but you can find a documentary with english subtitles made by the author where he reads various excerpts from the book and traces all the places Renos has been throughout the war .The documentary is called Ο εμφύλιος μέσα μας (the civil war inside us )
