What’s the issue with reading Candid?
wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 7 months ago
It’s not a long book but it is for me very frustrating to read.
It’s about an optimist who keeps dismissing the shitty things happening to/around because it’ll all work out.
I just did not enjoy reading it at all.

I know the book as I’m from the same country, so I wondered if there was some specific issue from the English side. It’s a satire of Leibniz philosophy and religion, so I think it’s expected to be frustrated at the character.
