Relation Supposing Books Solipsist

"I saw the word Solipsist while reading the dictionary in 1993. I was living
in NYC at the time and the word defined how the city made me feel. I worked
on this book in several cities all over the world until 1996. The writing is
obsessive and claustrophobic. To be solipsistic is to totally realize the ego
and the nightmare of utter self-possession. I went for it and it swallowed me
whole." --Henry Rollins

Judgment Appertaining To Books Solipsist

This book may not be for everyone, the raw, bold, straightforward writing and the obsessive and claustrophobic way of thinking of the main character who's point of view we follow, may be unsettling to some. I personally loved this book! I don't quite know what would be considered a spoiler so I'll quote what Henry wrote at the back of this book: "To be solipsistic is to totally realize the ego and the nightmare of utter self-possession." I personally enjoyed this book because it gave me all the

Some people say that you can't put a good book down. Well in my opinion a book is well written if I have to put it down after a few pages to get over the thoughts I've read. If I read a book I want to read about pain. There are so many books out there about pain and agony but the Solipsist has a brand new aspect. I don't need characters, I don't need frame stories I want pure pain and this book gives me what I want. Nothing else but the human mind/soul with it's deep, twisted, rotten illness. So

This is the book that changed my life.

What a disappointment. This read more like an overly long high school assignment than literature, filled with cliche's, self-loathing, and random words looked up from the dictionary because they sound smart. If I want brutally honest, raw, intelligent prose, I'll stick with Henry Miller and Bukowski. This was nothing but whining and self-hate in the form of cheesy metaphors and prose that would get a C, tops, in a college writing class.

this book drips with pain. and therefore it is something to read in small doses. But it inspires in ways I am always surprised by.This book, written from a fiction standpoint was even more diabolically poignant and sad. It has that quality to make you think and feel and breathe in all that Henry puts before you, in a way that I think makes you stronger. Better for having the experiance.It is dark and tells snippets from lives we wish to ignore in life but are being lived right beside us, with

Some of Henry's best work in my opinion. Short stories and prose of loneliness, love, humiliation, death, depression and violence. If you are familiar with Rollins work it is often intense read but on occasion, it has often beautiful glimmers of self-analysis of himself. Some of my fave pieces here are in this book. A lot of this was mostly around 1993 when his best friend had past and it shows here a lot in his writing. Not as intense as "see a grown man cry.." and one of the better
