Self-discovery is an art in these confusing times. The first-person narrator, who drifts into the drug scene in search of true values in life and violates all norms of social interaction, becomes an outsider in a country that sings of freedom while simultaneously burying it. A gripping diary novel, brutally honest – the often bizarre and obscure drug adventures of the protagonist, the subsequent care from the psychiatric clinic, and the following religious conversion serve as both a warning and an opportunity for all readers.
