Prufrock and Other Observations

T. S. Eliot

⏱ 8 minModernist classic

"Do I dare?" T. S. Eliot's 1917 debut is the nervous inner music of the modern city -- J. Alfred Prufrock measuring out his life in coffee spoons, too afraid to ask his overwhelming question, and a gallery of hollow drawing rooms, foggy streets, and half-lived lives.
