Sneak Peek:
"‘You think I am a man who can be reached by reason, but you are mistaken,’ he sneered, his voice hoarse with bitterness. ‘What good is it to reason when all that is left is pain and emptiness? I have lived among people, but I am not one of them.’" The room was silent, the air thick with the weight of his words, as the stranger slowly turned away, unsure of how to respond to such raw despair.
Synopsis:
Notes from Underground follows the deeply introspective and tormented Underground Man, who reflects on his life of isolation and societal rejection.
