Fun way to reacquaint myself with Kierkegaard and learn some biographical details. Strathern's obnoxious asides had me rolling.

Couldn’t help but wanting to call Kierkegaard a “fancy boy“ at the end of this. Not a bad introduction to his personal life, wouldn’t take any of it as gospel regarding his actual philosophy.

I knew Kierkegaard was odd but never realized how committed he was with to the emo-turned-edgelord life.

Coming from Strathern's book on Sartre, it is good to see that he is simply a bit of a curmudgeon, rather than personally biased against the Frenchman. This was an entertaining listen, and a good sketch of the life and times of someone whose work is frequently impenetrable. If you can stand the author forcibly inserting his views on philosophy into the story, it is a nice little book.

My favorite review of this said "I don't think I'd have understood Kierkegaard even if the book had lasted an extra thirty minutes."
