Solan Vale has spent years not looking directly at the thing that happened to him.
When his mind finally forces the confrontation, he doesn't break. He builds a theory.
If the world is only ever what he perceives, then the trauma was his to author, and so is everything that comes next. It starts as a way to survive. It becomes a way to see.
Then he decides to test it.
The Solipsist is a psychological thriller about the seduction of a belief that cannot be disproven, and about what it costs a man to hold one. It asks whether a mind can be both extraordinarily clear and profoundly unwell at the same time, and whether anyone, including the man himself, could tell the difference from the inside.
Is Solan alone in the universe, or is he a man lost in the labyrinth of his own mind?
Based on a true story.
Followed by Solipsist, a second telling of the same story.
