The Fall into Time by E.M. Cioran
5.0
Cioran never fails to dazzle. His ruminations on humankind's hopeless condition take the shape of frenetic essays here, rather than his usual aphoristic style. It is a shame that this book has failed to be republished since its original printing. Physical copies of this work are scarce – I myself was gifted it, for which I am grateful, but it came at a cost of $90.
This work does contain an at-times frustrating mystery, which the reader must decipher as to what exactly Cioran is getting at. While this sometimes occurs with his work, it feels rather odd and rambling. My rating was somewhere between four and five but given my love for Emil and for the extravagance this book often wields, I've rounded up.
