'Not to be born is undoubtedly the best plan of all. Unfortunately
it is within no one's reach.' In The Trouble With Being Born, E. M.
Cioran grapples with the major questions of human existence: birth,
death, God, the passing of time, how to relate to others and how to
make ourselves get out of bed in the morning. In a series of
interlinking aphorisms which are at once pessimistic, poetic and
extremely funny, Cioran finds a kind of joy in his own despair,
revelling in the absurdity and futility of our existence, and our
inability to live in the world. Translated by Pulitzer
Prize-winning poet and critic Richard Howard, The Trouble With
Being Born is a provocative, illuminating testament to a singular
mind.
