4.0

i have spent a lot of time at the post office because of my mom’s ebay business and i can confirm that it is HELL. such demanding work for little pay/benefits!

interesting novel! i definitely enjoyed the first 2 parts and the last 2 parts the most - the middle felt a little repetitive.

however, i think bukowski magnificently captures the mundane, soul-crushing cycle of capitalism that we are all trapped in.

thanks for the rec, ottessa moshfegh!
