The Abyss peels back layers of socially constructed high-mindedness in the male protagonist to reveal individual's capabilty for debasement. Beautiful prose depicting weather in inspired detail sets off sordid acts. The Lie examines one of author's fears, infinity: 'never did I understand so profoundly and terribly the meaning of infinity, norever realized it with such force. I felt in fear and pain that my very life was passing out in a slender ray...until I became a stranger to myself--desolated, speechless, almost dead.' Also: 'what madness it is--to be man and to seek the truth! What pain!' In Laughter, society's pain: 'Don't you feel that there's a living, suffering face behind my rediculous mask'.
Last story, The Red Laugh, also more famous, early account re war's reality: the first line reads 'Horror and madness.' Preceeded 'All Quiet On The Western Front' in depicting immediate horror and longterm madness of war. 'All were silent, as if an army of dumb people were moving, and when anyone fell down, he fell in silence;...as though these bumb men were also blind and deaf. I sutmbled and fell several times and then involuntarily opened my eyes, and all that I saw seemed a wild fiction, the terrible raving of a mad world.' Red laugh possibly = Bolshevik asendence. 'Something occured, something darkened our vision, and two regiments, belonging to the same army, facing each other at a distance of one verst, had been destroying each other for a whole hour in the full conviction that iw was the enemy they had before them' = White vs Red Armies? Foresaw Iron Curtain: 'A time will come when nobody will be able to go away from here.' ( )
