A new hero glares at us from behind the rough subculture that Immanuel Mifsud uses to effect. This new hero is not the modern anti-hero, nor the distracted one of post-modernism. Whereas these hero types could still think before acting, Mifsud's characters have no agenda, drift from day to day, and have only one choice: to act or not to act. They are characters who have lost all the traditional or moral values, including the urge to protest against injustice, a reaction that they deem as futile.
