I've probably raised this issue before, but people seem to ignore it: Does
the narrator of Tropic of Cancer take Boris seriously/solemnly? He goes on
to say almost immediately, "I have no money, no resources, no hopes. I am
the happiest man alive." Shouldn’t that temper our reading of the short
story?
