A review by moonscapist
Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse
5.0
Hermann Hesse on life and humor:
"I understood it all. (...) I knew that all the hundred thousand pieces of life's game were in my pocket. A glimpse of its meaning had stirred my reason and I was determined to begin the game afresh. I would sample its tortures once more and shudder again at its senselessness. I would traverse not once more, but often, the hell of my being.
One day I would be a better hand at the game. One day I would learn how to laugh."
