reviewed The Doll on August 09, 2012 The Doll
You've probably never heard of this book, but it comes damn close to meeting War and Peace on its own terms.
History rolls forward. The aristocratic scumbags are replaced by capitalist scumbags. The solutions to yesterday's problems become new problems and we don't get anywhere. A great man becomes a great man in pursuit of a vain and hopeless goal that eventually destroys him. A world of fops, fools, scoundrels, and nihilists loses something it desperately needs.
We can be 99% certain that society is irredeemably fucked. But unless we try to be better, we deprive ourselves of that last 1%.
When you hold out hope for human potential, you'll almost definitely be disappointed. But damn it, we've got to hope. And we've got to try.
