Unsure what he's after, and reluctant to return home, he follows the paths of travelers he meets along the way. Each new encounter--with an enigmatic stranger, a group of careless backpackers, and a woman on the verge--leads him closer to confronting his own identity. Traversing the quiet of wilderness and the frenzy of border crossings, every new direction is tinged with surmounting mourning, as he is propelled toward a tragic conclusion. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eShortlisted for the 2010 Man Booker Prize, \u003cem\u003eIn a Strange Room\u003c\/em\u003e is a hauntingly beautiful evocation of life on the road.
