Pretty bleak. Struggling for independence when it just isn't impossible for some farmers during the depression.

Not sure why it isn't brought up more in the depressing recommendations threads.

I wonder what the suicide rate was like back then

But I'm in the mood for an engaging narrative so I'm gonna put this one on hold even though I can relate to the 'protagonist'.

No idea... Lolita was so superb and everything else pales in comparison to that glistening, iridescent prose.

Suggestions?

quick word of advice- skip on will to power. it was published posthumously iirc and is full of a bunch of soft-on-christianity nationalist schlock Nietzsche's sister and brother-in-law edited in.
read anything else by Nietzsche and you'll be enamored, i promise.
