The Irresistible Nihilist

About the Book

Vaclav Havel, the first president of the Czech Republic, was quoted as saying, “The problem with modern man is not that he knows less and less about the meaning of his own life, but that it bothers him less and less.” Those who agree with the premise of his statement are then left to wonder why and, ultimately, to ponder the consequences. The Irresistible Nihilist begins at a café in Paris on the day the Nazis marched into the city and tells the story of a modern-day search through the rubble with hope that all is not lost.
