Now a major motion picture starring Sarah Gadon, Logan Lerman and
Ben Rosenfield, and adapted for the screen by James Schamus During
the second year of the Korean War in 1951, studious, law-abiding
Marcus Messner is beginning his sophomore year on the conservative
campus of Ohio's Winesburg College. Marcus has fled from his
hometown of Newark, New jersey, trying to escape his father's
oppressive love - a love that is also a mad fear of the dangers of
adult life soon to face his son. Whilst at college, Marcus has to
traverse an American world that isn't his own: facing off against
ardent Christian, Dean Cauldwell, and falling in love with the
beautiful Olivia Hutton. Indignation gleams with narrative muscle,
as it twists and turns unpredictably, and extends - shockingly -
beyond the confines of natural life.
