Unwanted Hopeless Romantic Morons Geoffrey Alexander Parsons

From hitch-hiking across the 49th parallel to plane trips to Montreal, road trips to Halifax, drinking in parkades and jamming in friends' lofts, "Unwanted Hopeless Romantic Morons" captures the trials and disenchantment of a disconnected generation. Lost in the vastness of Canada, the "Dead-at-25s" isolated in suburbia are lured somnabulistically to cities where they find further alienation and disappointment. In a touching tale, stark realism, substance abuse and sexual haggling co-exist with the innocent yearnings of youth in this modern struggle of love and idealism seeking its expression in a wasteland of nihilistic greed, narcotic egoism and righteous violence.
