A good read about a malevolent human being and a reflection on society.

Also kind of a feat to create a dislikable 1st person unreliable narrator and keep people reading.
What if the Dwarf was really just another side of the Prince?
I'm sure the Dwarf is another side of the Prince. But Is Prince another side of the Dwarf?
That's just the same thing.
That's just the same thing.
I think it's far more abstract---the Dwarf aggrandizes himself in concrete ways because he feels so bad about himself. We dont quite get the same perspective on the prince, although we might infer it on a non-absract level.
Why is that dwarf so morose? He's got it made in the entertainment industry, right. Really, I do love lagerqvist but this book- nah. Barabbas is a good read.
