[edit] Plot summary
Set in America in 1951, the second year of the Korean War, Indignation tells the story of Marcus Messner, from Newark, New Jersey, about to start his sophomore year at Ohio's Winesburg College. Marcus has elected to attend Winesburg College instead of his local college in Newark, where he originally enrolled, because his father appears to have become consumed with fear about the dangers of adult life, the world, and the uncertainty that awaits his son.
Unable to live with his father and mother, Marcus relocates to Ohio to try and find his way in a very different American world. [1]
