The guy who's partly responsible for feeding his family can't do that very thing anymore and notices that he basically lost all value to them (they start treating him like shit until he dies). If you want you can say its a book about failing to fulfill gender expectations and about why a patriarchy also is bad for men. About people loving him for what he's doing, not for who he is, and that love eroding as soon as he can't do that anymore.

Of course you can hallucinate about everything into that story, but that still does not change the fact that it is boring like hell.

Agree. It was a chore listening to it. Good it's short.

Edit* it's one of the pieces of literature that can't be reviewed anymore. Like 1984.

1984 is good with the whole world building thing. The moment our protagonist falls in love and fuck the chick in that field its over.
