He has nowhere to go. So he goes there.
The narrator of 'The Society Of Others' is an alienated young man who sees no meaning in life. He doesn't even see the point of getting out of bed in the morning. To get his family off his back, he embarks on an aimless hitchhiking adventure around Europe. But his journey soon turns into an orgy of violence.
With all the pace and thrust of a thriller, 'The Society Of Others' is also a moral fable, bursting with art, poetry, music and ideas.
A journey. Just not the usual kind.
