>An extremely egocentric and narcissistic man pretending to painfully disapprove and regret his wild experiences of vigorous youth when in fact he is overflowing with pride of his adventures.

Mine was 80 pages. It’s a short book. I like his writing style. It’s very precise and not wrapped up in abstract story telling or metaphors
