'Indignation' by Philip Roth.

Indignation starts in New Jersey, journeys to Ohio and then onto war-torn Korea (1950's). Marcus Messner is of college age and continues his education, far away from his birthplace, his parents and childhood memories.

Marcus meets an entire new world, customs, practices and attitudes and the adaptation is a difficult one.

A short novel packed with rawness, sorrow and courage.
