“I am a sick man…I am a wicked man,” cries the Underground Man, one of modern literature’s first, and most remarkable, antiheros. A former government official who has defiantly withdrawn from a corrupt society, the Underground Man wages his own personal war on everything–and everyone–around him. Laugh-out-loud funny and terrifying, Notes from Underground is the passionate, obsessive, and contradictory confession of a tormented soul.
