A review by latterman
The Wall by Jean-Paul Sartre
3.0
An overall great short-stories collection with some profound thinking embossed between the lines—an absolute joy to read through, with one exception.
"The Childhood of a Leader" felt like an intentional mess of a tale, with hard to read style, with single paragraphs that span pages at a time. It would've been okay by itself, but it followed "Intimacy" (that felt like reading through an anxiety attack), making reading a lot more tedious.
That being said, "The Wall", "The Room", and "Erostratus" were absolutely fantastic.
