Adrift in Soho is a compelling novel by Colin Wilson, first published in 1961. It plunges readers into the vibrant, yet often desolate, world of London's Soho district during the late 1950s. The narrative follows a young, aspiring writer who navigates the unconventional lives of his bohemian peers, exploring themes of existentialism, alienation, and the relentless search for meaning in a rapidly changing society. Wilson, renowned for his philosophical insights, masterfully blends intellectual inquiry with raw human experience, creating a vivid and thought-provoking portrait of post-war youth and their quest for identity amidst urban decay and artistic ferment.
