I did read the book and your impressions are correct. The narrator comes off as very immature and a total jerk. A few examples:
- After getting let go from Facebook he describes peeling out of the parking lot and speeding on campus
- He has a whole chapter on a sexual encounter he had with a colleague at work that had no bearing on the story
- He doesn't even bother naming the woman who bore two of his children, referring to her only as "London Trader". Even a pseudonym would have been appropriate if he wanted to keep her anonymity. His whole relationship with her was cringey and the author was not the least bit self-aware.
- tartoran 6y agoAll this bragging and assholery speaks volumes about their pronounced narcissistic traits. Unfortunately our culture makes for this type of behaviour to thrive because making money and bragging about it is what sells.
