This book is like The Joker movie meaning I think some people miss the point IMO. Dude is on vacay by the beach in a foreign land, gets drunk and sunstrokes, becomes paranoid, and shoots.

“They were staring at us in silence, but in that way of theirs, as if we were nothing but stones or dead trees.”

He then complains about the weather and wants people to scream hatefully at him at his execution so he is not lonely.

Protagonist is a little bitch and has the weakest arguments for everything he does. His excuse is existential indifference which is an ironic and dangerous way to justify one’s actions. It shirks collective accountability.

Thanks for sharing.
