Zeno's Conscience by Italo Svevo
3.0
3.4 stars
I think Svevo must have realized this book was to long. The beginning and the end were much stronger than the rest, both conceptually and on a more micro level. I really liked the first section of this and would recommend treating it like a short story. Too bad other portions (the business section in particular) were such a slog.
I don't understand why many people find this book remarkable. I'm calling bullshit.
