A review by mattyo
Botchan by Natsume Sōseki
4.0
A great book. Sort of like the catcher in the rye but for your early 20s.
Asks the great question: are naive assholes naive assholes because they are naive assholes? Or are they naive assholes because everyone else is a materialistic asshole who views naivety and innocence as an opponent of capital gain?
In simpler terms, is being an actually good person being an asshole?
Also, very funny.
