Anxious People

I went into this book knowing nothing about it. Which is why I was quite surprised to quickly learn it was about a bank robbery and hostage situation. This book feels farcical at times, but is ultimately so important. It explores the human psyche through comedy and tragedy simultaneously. I won't go too far into plot because I think going in blind really adds to the experience.

This book is full of hilarious interactions that feel so nonsensical yet so profound. The book is full of contradictions and plot twists and emotion. You really learn that we are all just human, trying to figure out life however we can. No one really has it all figured out. I know this review is confusing, but this book is confusing! I highly recommend it to literally any human being. You'll love it.
