Miss Lonelyhearts (Acting Edition for Theater Productions)

Dark, dirty, bitter and funny. A man struggling with morality and losing his mind in the process. Beautiful filth. I need to have a bath now.
Also some of the sentences were so compelling that i had to reread them a bunch of times and savour their delicate composition.

Many reviewers seem to extract a lot from this short novella, but the main takeaway for me is that you wouldn't want to be a woman in 1930s New York City.

Started strong and it's studded with vivid and sometimes twisted imagery but the wheels sort of come off toward the end.

OK, maybe I'm overreacting. It was a very gloomy story. Told with a generous dose of cynicism. I'm glad I didn't actually get the book.

I'm also glad it wasn't very long. Too depressing to spend much time with it.

I found it online, Project Gutenberg Australia.

Dark, disturbing, and generally unsettling.
