Wow, this was an absolutely amazing read. I felt like I was the one going mad and like I - along with the narrator - was loosing concept of time and of reality. Reading this book made me feel like I was the one experiencing the psychosis. This book was so dark and the prose was eloquent and so poetic. Such a fascinating read.

The narrator is so alienated and dissociated from everything and his perception of himself and time and the world around him is so distorted by his addiction. I absolutely loved this book which feels wrong to say considering what it’s about and how deep in depression and psychosis the narrator is.

This book was truly beautiful. Already due for a reread cause I still feel so lost in the story and its timeline.

I read the edition translated by Naveed Noori.
