Items related to Adrift in Soho
Harry Preston says goodbye to the provinces and comes to London looking for life and adventure. It is the mid-50s and he soon finds himself in the impoverished and slightly seedy world of the emerging Beat Generation. As he progresses through the ranks of would-be artists and deluded romantics of Soho and Notting Hill, he begins to make sense of the world and his role in it. Colin Wilson's second, and most autobiographical novel. Adrift in Soho is currently being filmed by Burning Films.

Review:
Colin Wilson's Adrift in Soho has taken on something of a legendary status. His tale of leaving the sticks to arrive in the big city must have been inspirational in its day. It still has the power to move today. --Beat Scene
About the Author:
One of the best-known 'Angry Young Men' of his generation, Colin Wilson is the author of over 100 books - novels, philosophical works, true crime, biography and the occult. His best-known work, The Outsider, was published when he was 24. He now lives quietly in Cornwall with his collection of 30,000 books - as the Sunday Times put it: 'Still an angry man, always the outsider.'
