书籍简介

一个年轻人进行了三次旅行，穿越希腊、印度和非洲。他的旅行没有什么目的，让路上的偶遇决定了他的道路。但是，尽管他知道自己在漂泊，他却无法安定下来。仿佛没有这些邂逅，他这个人就无法存在。然而，每次旅行都以灾难告终。

《在一个陌生的房间》是一部关于渴望和欲望受挫、愤怒和同情的小说，是对一个人寻找爱和一个可以称之为家的地方的非凡描述。

A young man takes three journeys, through Greece, India and Africa. He travels with little purpose, letting the chance encounters of the road dictate his path. But although he knows that he is drifting, he is unable to settle. It is as if, without these encounters, the person he is cannot exist. And yet each journey ends in disaster.

A novel of longing and thwarted desire, rage and compassion, In a Strange Room is an extraordinary evocation of one man's search for love, and a place to call home.
