I Read Zeno’s Conscience So You Don’t Have To (But You Should)” chapter 1

Step into my slightly dysfunctional literary adventure as I dive into Zeno’s Conscience by Italo Svevo — the original masterpiece of denial, procrastination, and self-delusion.
In this episode, I unpack Zeno’s chaotic mind, laugh at his “last cigarette” lies, explore the psychology behind his confessions, and figure out why this century-old novel still feels uncomfortably relatable.
If you love humor, philosophy, unreliable narrators, or watching someone else spiral so you don’t have to, this one’s for you.
