Yeah. I'm constantly questioning how much is just in my head and attempting to balance it with giving the reader enough info, but not too much!

Camus should know. I never could finish anything of his.

Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir? Hermann Hesse? Did not resonate?

Haaaaa was thinking… although I’m a bit of a fan of Camus, transcendentalism isn’t everyone’s cuppa by a few ark-lengths.

Hesse is great for teenagers, but I outgrew him. In truth I liked the descriptions of the beautifully bourgeois ordered lives that Hesse despised. French existentialists smell too much of stale tobacco and pseudo poverty. When you grow up without indoor plumbing and with even lower expectations then Pip - to become middle-class is the dream.

You certainly made the jump, and I am glad you did and you are here. Thank you.
