About
Adrian Sorio is one of those men fated never to reconcile the warring halves of their own natures. A writer whose great book is to demonstrate that all life centres on the urge to destroy, he is also the father of a son who means to him youth, renewal, a hope for the future. His realisation of the contradiction between these two attitudes to life, eventually sweeps him through madness to death.
