A Man of the People

I found this fascinating. I've read books where the narrator is unreliable, but less often do I see a narrator that essentially deludes himself in thought in the way this book's does. The men in the book are driven by petty squabbles, lust for money and possessions (including, in their eyes, women), and take their country on a descent with their feuds. I found the commentary of educated elites vs “commoners” striking and unfortunately, apt today globally.

I may add more to this review when I get to a full keyboard.
