A review by msjaquiss
Wittgenstein Jr by Lars Iyer

3.0

This book was written by a philosophy professor about a philosophy professor teaching a philosophy class at Cambridge which means that none of it made any sense. It was interesting to read the ramblings of the professor as he instructed his students and simultaneously descended into depression and madness. The students' conversations and shenanigans outside of class were the fun part of the book. I enjoyed the juxtaposition of the professor's paranoid rants and the students' discussions of the lectures and their futures. I wouldn't recommend this book because it really didn't appeal to me and I was never captivated by the story.
