A novel about a sensitive, young Irish Catholic in the 1920s trying to go to school, make a living and find a girl to fall in love with. Throughout the novel, the Farrell lets us get into the main character's head. Farrell explores obsolecence, the fear of being forgotten among the billions of other human beings, the fear of never having accomplished anything worthwhile; the seemingly inescapable destiny of ending of up a nobody in a world where your talents aren't needed.
