Keegan has an extraordinary ability to conjure vivid imagery in my mind while using so few words.

For the first half of the book, I really didn’t understand why it is so widely read and highly regarded. The second half became much more interesting
For the first half of the book, I really didn’t understand why it is so widely read and highly regarded. The second half became much more interesting and intense. I enjoyed the characteristic writing style of back and forth between very long and short sentences. For some reason I thought some parts were quite funny, but this is probably due to some 1950s Swiss German turns of phrase being hilarious to me. I am kind of tired of the whole theme of tension between technocratic rationalism and emotive humanism. (ChatGPT for context: In such narratives, characters embodying logic and empirical data often find themselves at odds with those advocating for intuition, empathy, and the unquantifiable aspects of the human experience. This dialectic examines how reductive rationality can dehumanize and commoditize life, while an excess of emotionality can lead to instability and irrational decisions. It delves into the consequences of these worldviews colliding, often revealing that neither is sufficient in isolation for understanding the complexities of existence.) Maybe this was an intriguing and novel theme in 1957 but in 2023 it is just boring to me.
