Hello! This feels, in a way, conceited but it’s my question! I have been reading a lot lately, some very intelligent authors, with very thoughtful characters, Like Dostoevsky, Camus, Baldwin, Morrison… It does seem though these characters fall into the realm of my own binary reasoning, where i tend to agree with them on most things and, I’m not sure if the things i disagree with are based in reality… i wonder if there are books, (i like literary fiction but for this sake i would read nonfiction), that glimpse into the world that I don’t quite understand, the world of thoughtless and selfish people? To help my understanding of what the heck is going on in the world around me.
I hope this question makes sense! Thank you for reading this!
That sounds exactly like what I was hoping for, I really appreciate this recommendation! Reading your comment, I’m reminded of The Stranger by Camus, where you get perspectives from other characters about their perspective of situations where you initially had sided with the main character, it would be wise for me to reread it with this idea of disregard for the people around him, (instead of only disagreeing with him at the very end, as was how my first read went).
I am excited to read this now! Thank you : )
