Excerpt from The Outsider
Feels like a million dollars. Feels like nothing I''ve felt before. I''ve been a civilian before, but never a civilian in Paris.
There followed a silence, and then Long took up his theme again.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the experiences of a young American man, Mortimer Long, who finds himself newly demobilized from the military in Paris after World War I. The author skillfully portrays the clash between Mortimerââ â¢s yearning for freedom and the expectations of his family and society back home. The narrative centers on Mortimerââ â¢s search for a life free from societal pressures and expectations. He finds himself drawn to the vibrant and anonymous energy of Paris, where he can shed the weight of responsibility and embrace a life of irresponsibility. This theme resonates with the post-war era, where a sense of disillusionment and a desire for self-discovery permeated the cultural landscape. Through interactions with a diverse cast of characters, each struggling with their own personal complexities, the author explores themes of identity, belonging, and the nature of freedom. Mortimerââ â¢s encounters with Ezra Rich, a Polish-born American expatriate, and Masters, a disillusioned Englishman, reveal the different ways individuals grapple with their own pasts and identities in the search for meaning. The author delves into the complexities of love, friendship, and the search for a sense of place in a world that often feels indifferent to the individual. Ultimately, the book explores the enduring power of personal freedom and the search for authenticity in a world of expectations and constraints. The author's insightful portrayal of Mortimer's journey reminds us that true freedom lies not in escaping responsibility but in forging a path that is true to oneself, regardless of societal pressures.
