Newfound Consciousness: a review of Journey


Written under a pseudonym and told from the first-person perspective, in detailed intimacy, Carter Monroe’s novel reads like a roman à clef. Journey captures only a few days in the summer of 1971 in North Carolina. The narrator and protagonist, Eddie Watson, is a nineteen-year-old college student looking to escape his family and find some fun. What begins as a night out for Eddie with friends and acquaintances, who are all attending a concert, gradually becomes the onset of an insightful quest for his self-awareness and identity. And this is only the beginning for him.

Find Journey.
