Dude survived Auschwitz and went on to kill himself. This is some bleeeeeak shit. Nevertheless, it's still brilliant. Each essay manages to be both philosophically rigorous and profoundly moving. The title is appropriate-- each essay maps out the peripheries of human existence. It's harrowing, and harrowing often without a redemptive conclusion, but you still get the feeling that what you're reading is essential.
