The Pessoptimist

There is certainly a lot to say about the book, and it's best to do it carefully. For now though, I'll say this: Habiby uses satire in a way that causes me to rethink big historic moments and smaller everyday ones in the same way. Some culminate in grand atrocities and others are superficial wounds that, only though repeated attention, do they weigh equally, if not more. I'll add more about this soon.
