ESFP Nikolai Gogol's DEAD SOULS
Through the gates of the hotel in the gubernatorial city of NN entered a rather beautiful, modest, steel spring-suspended, horse-drawn carriage, in which unmarried men travel: retired lieutenant colonels, staff captains, estate owners possessing approximately a hundred peasant souls -- in short, all of those who are called the gentlemen of the middle class. In the horse-drawn carriage was seated a gentleman, not good-looking, but not bad-looking either, neither too fat, nor too thin; one could not say that he was old, but that's not to say that he was young. His arrival inside the city did not produce any hubbub whatsoever and was not accompanied by anything conspicuous; merely a couple of Russian peasants who stood outside the entrance of the tavern opposite the hotel, and who made some remarks that, incidentally, had more to do with the carriage than the man seated in it.

"A murder is a form of intimate bonding": The peculiar life of Patricia Highsmith, the writer of The Talented Mr. Ripley
Someone like Patricia Highsmith wrote about antiheroes. Consider Tom Ripley, the "suave, agreeable, and utterly amoral" conman who is the main character of her 1955 novel The Talented Mr. Ripley. He travels over Europe by lying, cheating, and killing people, but he manages to win our sympathy in the process. Even over 70 years after he first appeared on the page, he is still incredibly captivating, which is why Ripley, the Netflix TV adaption starring Andrew Scott, is one of the most eagerly awaited films of 2024.
