The Dialogues (Of T Bone Goldfarb‪)‬

For modern Western man to be socially disenfranchised, isolated, confused and clinging like a primate to any warm object is not a new literary idea. If fact, this novel takes the position there are no really new ideas. The fictional protagonist in this writing clings to the old masters of literature and philosophy as a means to bring some order to his world- our world of idiotic political sniping and meaningless materialism. Inevitably, of course our hero's self imposed exile drops him into the currents of inescapable depression and social nihilism- a perfect comic opportunity.
