Reality is overrated! These surreal and absurd fiction books remove logic to reveal their truths. Here the impossible is inevitable, the strange is necessary, and Kafkaesque is only the beginning.

Honestly, this was way more fun than I expected. It's basically about a couple of very rich people being kind of awful and pathetic, and inexplicably it's extremely enjoyable.
I liked the characters, I really enjoyed reading about them and was very invested in them. I enjoyed the setting, 1920s isn't really an era I've read books from, so it felt very new to me as well. I also really enjoyed the prose, and just overall I was very invested in what was happening even though it was literally mostly just rich people cheating on each other. Also, it was quite funny at some places.
I also very much sensed things about how money can make you ignorant and out of touch and stuff like that, which I think is very interesting, but I'm not going to try and break that down because I'm sure far smarter people than me have done this already, and honestly I'm too lazy at the moment, my brain has been scrambled by university entrance exams.
