Publisher's Summary
Notes from the Underground is an 1864 novella by Fyodor Dostoevsky. Notes is considered by many to be one of the first existentialist novels. It presents itself as an excerpt from the rambling memoirs of a bitter, isolated, unnamed narrator (generally referred to by critics as the "Underground Man") who is a retired civil servant living in St. Petersburg.
The first part of the story is told in monologue form, or the underground man's diary, and attacks emerging Western philosophy. The second part of the book is called "Apropos of the Wet Snow" and describes certain events that appear to be destroying and sometimes renewing the Underground Man, who acts as a first-person unreliable narrator and antihero.

distracting
I found the story lost its value due to the performance of Daniel Dorse. he runs words together, monotonous, no inflection.

Personality rather than Plot
The focus of this novel is a personality, rather than a plot. It is an intricate investigation into the inner world of a person whose whole life is his inner world, but who cannot bear to face that fact and it's consequences for his own life.
Daniel Dorse performs a wonderfully vivid narration, giving the character a befittingly hopeless, gravelly voice.
if you're in the mood for a (very) darkly comic cringefest centering on a pathetic anti-hero too weak to confront his own part in perpetuating a miserable life, boy does this audiobook scratch that itch.
