Malcolm, a broke, geekish student of Maths & Philosophy, is plagued and
fascinated by ambiguity. He loves girls but loathes sixties pop culture.
Trouble is the girls seem to inhabit only the trendiest, noisiest
venues. Alone, he winces, cringes and lusts his way though a world of
megalomaniac DJs and trendy boutiques, and daily he battles canteen
staff over the definition of a sandwich. We follow his ups and downs
from Tyrolean pistes to the dusty summits of bookcases in the vast
college library, where he lodges to avoid rock 'n' roll, and rent. Will
he ever find peace, love, and catering clarity?
