That is a youthful question too, dear reader, very youthful, but may the Lord put it more frequently into your heart!

In full retreat from society, he scrawls a passionate, obsessive, self-contradictory narrative that serves as a devastating attack on social utopianism and an assertion of man’s essentially irrational nature.
