Notes from Underground, also translated as Notes from the Underground or Letters from the Underworld, is an 1864 novella by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Notes is considered by many to be one of the first existentialist novels. It presents itself as an excerpt from the rambling memoirs of a bitter, isolated, unnamed narrator (generally referred to by critics as the Underground Man) who is a retired civil servant living in St. Petersburg.

Time to catch up again!
This is my favorite #secondhand book. I can't say no to a well worn, much loved, broken in, heavenly scented used book 😍

"I admit that twice two makes four is an excellent thing, but if we are to give everything its due, twice two makes five is sometimes a very charming thing too."

Quote from Notes From Underground which is matching up quite well with my parallel reading of Bunk. Bunk has entire chapters devoted to the faulty memoir that makes me cringe. I did discover a few hoax writers in the book that actually made me want to read them more now though. Fascinating.

Monologue of a very unpleasant man, but I kinda like him 🤷‍♀️
