Horrible man is sad during Great Depression and takes it out on women. It’s well written but I don’t understand why it’s considered some great book. His thoughts on spiritual aren’t even all that profound. The horrible misogyny throughout this book really ruined it for me. West made it very clear how he feels about women.
