I kept this review, because I only read the book recently. I really loved it for its very peculiar characters and the story that on the surface seems to be quite bonkers. There are a lot of layers to uncover in this story and a lot of political dimensions weaved into it that are related to the history of Hungary. A lot of them are easy to stay unnoticed, because they are mentioned only in a few sentences and in a very casual way. I was first a bit irritated by the book, but then it kept me turning the pages and I really loved it.

I'm loving the new book mountain in the background! And great Q&A section. I agree with Daniel--just leave the cameras on ALL the time! Or... just livestream 😬

who's Gurthe

Thanks dude!! I just got done reading this yesterday and was having a hard time with this one. Just some of the dialog was drawn out and I would say just get to the point man. Lol but I felt he was selfish in his own way and what a strange justification of judgment. Well put.

You have such a great channel!

Love this new video!!!

What you're saying here is, for my characters, I become "a dictator on day one," when I write a story? LOL.

Your videos are always interesting and insightful. Glad to have you back on KZbin. Peace.

I went back to watch this and saw Kafka. 😎

Outstanding work, and I’ve never heard a better presentation explaining “philosophical worldbuilding,” which is so critical yet rarely made explicit. I love how you explained the distinction between “a character changing” and “a character acting out of character,” and what functions as the basis for the intuition of an audience that “a character wouldn’t do that.” I also love the distinction between a “real, fiction character” and a “fictional, fiction character’-that was grand. Well done!

Your sarcasm is brilliant 😂

Just finished 'The Fall'. My first time reading Camus, loved it. Very thought provoking, a little above my level but going to start 'The Plague' next. Thanks for taking the time to explain it for the 'Plebeians' of the world 😂

maybe stop hitting the desk as you do your video. thump thump thump

Very interesting video, thanks for talking about it and sharing your thoughts. It is how any dialogue should be. And I felt a part of one during this video. Reading 'Notes from the Underground' by Fyodor Dostoevsky followed by 'The Fall' is a thought-provoking way to think about both books. Like any book, they can be syntopically read. But, I believe Camus drew a lot of his stylistic writing and themes from Dostoevsky. I had multiple flags while reading the fall of the terms or nuances from The Underground but used them in a way to show Camus world view.

Glad I stumbled upon both this video and their book. Love the suspenders, not being sarcastic. Great bookshelf too and thoughts. Just subbed.

👍👍👍

Thank you 🙏🌸

fascinating. that one can highlight small irrelevant questions/situations that then show the grander question/situation behind it. but was it on purpose or do we read too much into it? are they simple minded and we read over it or are they extremely clever and provoke the small minded in order to poke the bigger issue? i can only apologise that it took me two years to get here... better late than never? now to find some Trout...

love this. rad = you

Awesome! I look forward to reading it! 🤘🏻

Just discovered your channel. Great video and looking forward to seeing the rest of them.

What I like about Camus, is his insight through his shadow, especially since he is a male, I'm fascinated by that we all know what's right but some try to just bury it deep down ❤

3:11 by doesn’t really, I mean not at all! 😂😂😂 that was great!

This. Is. AWESOME!!!!

6:56 I hate it too 😂😂😂

I love thinking about the interaction of body and soul. Very deep and meaningful exploration.

in part i would agree with him. my body wants to eat cookies all the time, my mind knows that isnt wise. the battle goes on. seriously these videos are so hardcore! bloody optimist thinking there will be people around in a hundred years... hahaha.

i thought kilgore trout was just ostraca's old name

This is so wonderful-thank you for the support, the kind words regarding the books, for telling people about the release of “Belonging Again,” and for your outstanding thoughts on Heidegger. This was really well-articulated in exploring and navigating the question of Heidegger’s “existentialism,” and you did it in and with your legendary style, wit, and clarity. Thank you again, Pae, truly.
