This book is framed as a discussion with the reader themselves. The story is told by Jean-Baptiste Clamence as he reflects upon his life and expresses his thoughts on his life and the world as a whole. Each chapter is packed with philosophical musings and an honesty towards his own situation which is beautifully devasting and tackle all manner of topics.

Books of this nature often challenge me to read but they seldom challenge me to examine my own life, as well as my way of thinking, this achieves both beautifully. I rarely stumble upon books in which I can say this, but this books does what it intends to do in the most perfect way.
