Book Reviews of Vipers' Tangle (The Loyola Classics Series)
Book Review: Know Thyself
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my second Mauriac novel, the first being Woman of the Pharisees, and I enjoyed it immensely. Louis, an aging lawyer, writes a letter to his wife in which he recounts their life together. What begins as a reproach against his family turns into a sort of examination of conscience. The novel ends with a series of exchanges between his grown up children as they offer their own interpretation of his writing. Did Louis amend his ways or were the changes he seemed to be undergoing just another layer of self-deception? Or are the children themselves rationalizing his motives? Mauriac's psychological novel exemplifies the Socratic wisdom that the "unexamined life is not worth living."
