Best-selling author William Nicholson collected Oscar and BAFTA nominations for co-writing the rousing screenplay to the Academy Award-winning Gladiator. Now with The Society of Others, he delivers a richly atmospheric, psychological thriller that is engrossing from first word to last. A recent college graduate, the unnamed and disenchanted narrator of this tale leaves home to embark on a hitchhiking journey, with no particular destination in mind. He is picked up by a philosophical truck driver who is smuggling books into an oppressed Eastern European country. But at a roadblock, the driver is tortured and killed by armed thugs, while the hitchhiker escapes into the woods. Lost and alone, he struggles to understand his situation-and discovers more about himself than he ever thought possible. Reminiscent of a Franz Kafka masterpiece and full of suspense, The Society of Others is a remarkably unique achievement.
