>A searing critique of the American dream
Is this the most banal meme ever? How can anyone read about life for the cast majority of people before America existed and then say, "The USA is particularly bad". Of course life is shit by default.
Whenever I see books that get marketed as "searing satires of X" I can be entertained by them but it emphasises how little I care about the ideas behind books.
I just want to add a specific paragraph about how notes from the underground is the only entertaining thing that Dostoevsky ever wrote and everything else is fucking dull.

Thank you for your searing critique on searing critiques of the American Dream.

Crime and Punishment was good. Brothers Karamazov was a slog fest sometimes but overwall was really good. Havent read notes yet.

I have come to hate these words when used to describe novels, or anything really. At this point they mean absolutely nothing.

You can criticize anything but it must not be seared. Low heat only.
