Review of 'Down and Out in Paris and London' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
This work reminds me of some odd mixture of Hamsun and Hemingway, so naturally, it is incredible! Filled with all sorts of characters, poor peeps, all quite unique in their own right. Poverty annihilates. It annihilates the physical. It annihilates the mental. It strips of dignity. It inspires bitterness. From a miserable enough point of view, can one even be blamed for viewing violence as the only means left to them?
