His Orgy of Crime is the narrative of a boy apart. It is in most part a reassembly of facts, the shocking incidents for which Paul is the author having taken place in the 1960s. Paul's story commences with his going up to secondary school, where he dismisses normal schoolboy patterns of behaviour for a more sociopathic bearing. The book's surprising conclusion, several decades later, demonstrates that one can survive - and survive very well - when rejecting the accepted norms of upright and respectable society. It also asks the reader just how responsible are we for the actions of others?
