★★★★☆ He wrote it after the hellish travel with his lover, a self destructive man, a full of self pity and frustrations. True you should read this while drunk and preferably in the night.


🔽 Book review and notes 🔽
A poem of youth in pain. It's true you should read this while drunk and preferably in the night.
Not in the Mediterranean summer daytime.

He wrote it after the hellish travel with his lover, a self destructive man, and this is as the title suggests, a full of self pity and frustrations.

Would have felt differently if read in different occasions for sure.

Penguin classic 60, this version translated in 1962.
