Quincas Borba: Le philosophe ou le chien

The novel has some sharp wit alongside its darker themes. I'm curious how humor functions as a tool for critique in this story.

The discussions about morality and existence are rich but can be dense. Was this balance intentional or did it affect the pacing for others?

Rubião's mental unraveling feels central to the novel's message. I wonder what the author was aiming to reveal about human nature through him.
