Going to the Dogs: The Story of a Moralist

I do not find this book funny, although many people around here mention just that about it.
I found it sad, and terrible, and great, and I loved Fabian, I can totally understand his view. I found it may things but not really funny. Maybe something is wrong with me, or maybe I find that te world is in crisis, my country is in crisis, life has a different value now, and this book describes a crisis which happens in a very different moment in the world, but maybe not so far from things that happen now.
This book has many descriptions of sexuality, that to me is the least important part, but I can understand that when it was published it was a really big deal, and maybe took some value away from what it is trying to say. What I can recognise is maybe the lack of value one gives to life, when there is a crisis, call it economic, or political, call it social tension, call it what you like.
It is more of a sad book, and maybe I find it sad, because in this very moment the world seems dark to me in many ways, and this book describes what happens to people when they really don't know where to go, or when everything they do really seems not to make any difference in the large scheme of things.
Very recommend read.
