Harold Hardscrabble, by G. D. Dess, captures the feelings of frustration and helplessness that many of us experience in our daily lives. These sentiments are embodied in the contemplative, quietly charming protagonist, Harold, who lives largely in his own world of thoughts and dreams. The story recounts Harold's transformation from a dreamer to a man of action as he struggles to discover how to live a meaningful life in a materialistic world. Throughout the many disasters and injustices that assail him, Harold exhibits great patience and fortitude; but, finally overcome by despondency, he feels forced to take matters into his own hands to attain justice for all the wrongs he feels he has been made to suffer. The story of his quest for self-realization unfolds slowly, like Ravel's Bolero, as it builds to its ineluctable, explosive climax.
