Adolescence in Orphalese

By Layne Stanley Haneke Gibran

On a clear winter night, a young man decides to make a spontaneous escape from his regular life. The book follows the story of an unlikely, spectacular escape of two young people coming from very different life trajectories. Adolescence in Orphalese is a thoughtful and affecting coming-of-age story that resonates with anyone who remembers the teenage days of questioning the world around us, growing a distaste for phoniness. It is a story about finding the way as a young person, trying to navigate growing up, friendship, angst and a weltschmerz. The escapism and criticism in Adolescence in Orphalese brings thoughts back to characters like Holden Caulfield and Charlie, but it does not put a nametag on anything. The book picks apart the nature of the contemporary world surrounding a teenager, it provides breathing room for creativity, critical thinking and a different way of approaching things.
