As times have changed, so has the lifestyle of people. As a result, the problems and situations they face prevail but are slightly different with the changing time. Juan Kaius’, “Binge and Nothingness” is an embodiment of the spirit of the present time and a thorough representation of the situation of the modern day youth.
The fact that the story features a 25 year old does fair justice to its generation but his story maybe the story of any 30 year old too. The author maintains the Camus like starkness of reality and the existentialist crisis that a person with a lifestyle relying heavily on fulfiling himself through external pleasures has. All the circumstances presented make the story directly relatable for a majority of readers as the author makes the reality hit the head and heart with the strongest impact. The book is short, but the impact casted on readers is way beyond in terms of time.
The book features not just the manner in which the author observes and explains things but also how he keeps the facts in their raw form without any tampering or subduing them. Readers of the present generation who have the courage to face things the way they are should read “Binge and Nothingness” as it strikes the right chord with the present day generation flawlessly and effortlessly.
