Résumé :

But when a ghost from his past resurfaces in the form of a long-lost letter, Patrick is forced to examine his own life in ways he never expected. Torn between the radical ideals of his youth and the pragmatism of his present, Patrick embarks on a journey back to the turbulent 1960s-a time of protests, campus revolutions, and a love that slipped through his fingers. As he reconnects with old friends and relives memories buried for decades, he must confront the choices that defined him, the sacrifices he made, and the truths he ran from. Witty, thought-provoking, and deeply reflective, Blame It on Socrates is a compelling exploration of philosophy, nostalgia, and the weight of unfinished business.
