<p><i>''Not to be born is undoubtedly the best plan of all. Unfortunately it is within no one''s reach.''<br></i><br>In <i>The Trouble With Being Born</i>, 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.<br><br>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.<br><br>Translated by Pulitzer Prize-winning poet and critic Richard Howard, <i>The Trouble With Being Born</i> is a provocative, illuminating testament to a singular mind.</p>
