Pangloss [ˈpænglɒs] n: a person who views a situation with unwarranted optimism [after Dr Pangloss, a character in Voltaire's Candide (1759)]
You can find this book for a loonie because it was common curricula.
Best loonie you'll spend this year.
If you like to read on paper.
Jungle women with real gorilla boyfriends, an escape from the stake after being tried by the inquisition, a bro story about the absurdity of optimism in a world perpetually pillaging itself. Syphilis and puns in abundance.
I couldn't even touch the other hundred or so absurd
but somehow reasonable events.
Like Narcissus and Goldmund but less dark and somehow,
Optimistic.
And it's honestly very funny.
I'll have a refill.
