Next week, we’ll be discussing the nihilistic pessimism of Emil Cioran as presented in his book The Trouble With Being Born. We’ll take a look at Chapters 5, 2, and 3. That totals about sixty pages, but given it’s an aphoristic text, many of which are decidedly brief, all three chapters shouldn’t take more than an hour or so to complete (depending on how you ruminate, I suppose). But if for whatever reason you’re unable or disinclined to read all three chapters, it is suggested that you tackle them in the above order. See you soon! ~N
