Publisher's Synopsis
Set in the hopeful and yet disillusioned period of a financial crisis, The Babe and the Wolves explores the viability of revolutionary movements and ideals from the individual's perspective. It is the story of political dissidents caught between their personal values as they struggle to do what is right. Mitch Taylor is a promising, if socially challenged, student whose world is changed when he is called on to help a beautiful friend running from the police. Unsure of what to do, he must live with his decision and the path of lies it takes him down. The Babe and the Wolves is based on Joseph Conrad's Under Western Eyes, his response to Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment. It is one of three political novels Conrad wrote on the intersection of how individuals impact those around them.
