Honestly, I work as a clinical therapist and have been using 'War of the Foxes' as a bridge. Much of the themes throughout the book deal directly with struggle, the subjective experience of meaning, and finding humor within an absurd existence. This collection is on par with hanging out with a visionary mad man wanting to find a love that can only stem from acceptance. Siken pulls no punches and goes straight for the jugular. Whether it's through revealing parts of himself or the reader, Siken flows with vulnerability. He asks himself and others the hard question: "To supply the world with what?"
