The Nihilist

By: Keijo Kangur

Narrated by: Maria Sütt

A novel of alienation for the doomer generation

A dark and introspective tale of a young man at the end of his rope—his girlfriend has left him, he hates his job, he has no friends, no beliefs, no hope, no future.

During the course of a week, he will plunge himself into a sea of alcohol whilst traversing an urban landscape littered with bars and letdowns. In his attempts to find human connection, he will come across estranged acquaintances and sordid strangers, descending into bitter philosophical rants as he reflects critically over his disappointing life and the absurdity of the world around him.

He will suffer through misery, humiliation, madness, and violence, his bender ultimately spiraling him into the very heights of despair.

Will he succumb? Or is there still some hope left for him?
