loads of detail into Vadim’s school years. The first few chapters felt like a spring break, but I’m now knee deep in coursework.

Vadim’s narrative during the first paragraph of Sonya is equal parts raw, human, and animalistic. seeing desires, thoughts, and actions laid so barely in text is deeply shocking, yet refreshingly truthful. His comments on boulevards are founded and insightful.

Vadim distills and presents himself in a brutally honest light. The encounter with Zinochka is almost diabolical, the power dynamic and relationship between himself and his mother is questionable, and the way in which he presents himself in class draws the strangest parallels to diary of a wimpy kid. so far the narrative feels like a steady decline and i am hooked.
