Items related to Adrift in Soho (Beats, Bums & Bohemians)
Harry Preston says goodbye to the provinces and comes to London looking for life and adventure. It is the mid-50s and he soon finds himself in the impoverished and slightly seedy world of the emerging Beat Generation. As he progresses through the ranks of would-be artists and deluded romantics of Soho and Notting Hill, he begins to make sense of the world and his role in it. Colin Wilson's second, and most autobiographical novel. Adrift in Soho is currently being filmed by Burning Films.

Review:
Colin Wilson's Adrift in Soho has taken on something of a legendary status. His tale of leaving the sticks to arrive in the big city must have been inspirational in its day. It still has the power to move today. --Beat Scene
