Interesting. Your description makes it sound a bit like a more philosophical version of the movie Jarhead. Gyllenhaal's character (perhaps not so coincidentally) reads Camus in it.

You should read the book The Opposing Shore; very similar atmosphere to this one, but in a more baroque style.

Donald Wright

Interesting parallel to Williams's Stoner! In that novel, Prof. Stoner at least had his great love of books to sustain him. But having *someone*—namely his passive-aggressive destroyer of a wife, and appalling colleagues and students—was worse than having no one at all!
