Solitary Thoughts is a collection of passages meant to impart a narrative of the author's struggles to cope in a society that is too preoccupied with commercial self-interest. Values such as efficiency and expedience rise to the fore in a culture polarized between production and consumption. People are stereotyped and assaulted with expectations that threaten their ability to live. The author attempts to offer a glimpse of what life becomes, having been pushed to the periphery of what is acceptable.
