Dario Fo – Accidental Death of an Anarchist | Review

Title: Accidental Death of an Anarchist

Author: Dario Fo

Category: Fiction

Page Count: 92

Rating: 4.5/5

This Italian play was a hell of a lot of fun, in part because it’s also dark and depressing. It reminded me of Camus in that it takes an absurdist look at life while simultaneously basing itself on a “truestory of when an anarchist “fell” from the window of a police station. Except obviously, it wasn’t really an accident.

Yeah, go read or see this one.

Uninspirational – Tinder Nightmares | Review

This book is basically just a collection of awkward stories from Tinder which are presented in the form of a series of screenshots under different categories. Because of that, it’s okay, but it also starts to get a little bit boring after a while, even though it doesn’t take long to read it.

It reminded me in a way of Bobs and Vagene by Cam C. Wolfe, which does the same thing but with thirsty comments on Instagram. Bobs and Vagene was a little better, but both are worth a read if only for the chuckle you’ll get.

At the same time though, it’s also pretty depressing and a bleak reflection of the society that we live in. If you’ve ever used Tinder or other dating apps, you won’t be surprised at how ridiculous some of the messages are.
