Ticknor by Sheila Heti
Set in the 19th century, this introspective narrative delves into the life of a reclusive scholar who grapples with feelings of inadequacy and envy towards his more successful friend. Through a series of reflective monologues, the protagonist examines his own failures and the nature of friendship, while wrestling with the haunting specter of his own mediocrity. The story unfolds in a contemplative, almost melancholic tone, capturing the essence of human frailty and the complexities of self-worth.
