He's your typical nu-male. There's not really much else to say. I wouldn't be surprised at all if his wife was legitimately cucking him.

His writing is obviously shit, but it's written for teenage girls--so it's not meant to be amazing literature in the first place. The problem is that people think it is, and take him seriously, but that's not Green's fault.

hofmannsthal collected a bunch of aphorisms by himself and authors he liked in "book of friends" same era and place as weininger.

there are two other collected volumes by weininger "about last things" and "pocketbook and letters" which are at least as interesting as sex and character.
he developed many ideas which he must have found in works of schopenhauer and emerson.

Just finished this. Interesting book, obviously funny, but also a portrayal of a grotesque tragicomic situation.

The apparent dichotomy between the mentalities of Myrna Minkoff and Ignatius made me think reading it they were two sides of the same coin.
But after finishing it I am thinking Myrna is the pseudo-intellectual who looks for opportunities to virtue signal, she does things for the image. Ignatius, on the other hand, is a complacent yet lazy person who has constructed a worldview that places the blame on others and society for his failures and stagnant existence.
