Journal of an Urban Robinson CrusoeLondon and Brightonby Des MarshallThe diary of an outsider Journal
of an Urban Robinson Crusoeis
a portrait of a troubled yet resilient and compassionate man and the people
he meets in London and Brighton in the closing years of the twentieth century:
the lost, the lonely, the loud, the ordinary, the disconnected - a multitude
of outsiders who exist everywhere in Britain’s urban society. Ultimately,
in spite of self-doubt, depression and tragedy the journal ends on a note
of warmth and hope.
AN OUTSIDER'S VIEW OF THE WORLDDes Marshallis fascinated by human behaviour and the workings of his own mind. He writes with an acute sense of self awareness, self mockery and humour about his interior life, his endless search for answers to his sense of rejection, the meaning and purpose of love, the sickness of modern society, the mystery of human existence.SURVIVAL"One man’s struggle for survival amidst the hubris of urban chaos . . . a voyage of self discovery." - Rob Whitley, Institute of Psychiatry, King's College, London"It offers piercing insights. . . and has moments of real tenderness." - Open Mind.
