#invitation to a beheading

“I am here through an error — not in this prison, specifically — but in this whole terrible, striped world; this world which seems not a bad example of amateur craftsmanship, but is in reality calamity, horror, madness, error…”

—Vladimir Nabokov, Invitation to a Beheading.

A terrific read if you’re into Kafka, Sartre, Beckett, existentialism, absurdism, and all that jazz.
