Just read this in a Entertainment Weekly (given an A- ) book review of "Hope: A Tragedy" by Shalom Alexander.
The "poisonously funny debut novel" sounds interesting. It's about the protagonist's "nagging fears, morbid digressions, and firmly rooted paranoia".
Added to this is the fact that Anne Frank, yes, that Anne Frank "has actually been sequestered in suburban American attics as she pens her follow-up book".
What caught my eye though was the Woody Allen quote from the start of "Annie Hall" by reviewer Keith Staskiewicz. Human existence is defined as
"FULL OF LONELINESS, AND MISERY,AND SUFFERING, AND UNHAPPINESS, AND IT'S ALL OVER MUCH TOO QUICKLY".
