(4) YA After his ex-girlfriend Jess gives birth to their son, Jack kidnaps the newborn (nicknamed Socrates) in a moment of panic over giving the baby to its adoptive parents, then takes off on an ill-advised road trip with the baby, Jess, and his best friend. The cerebral story goes from profound to self-indulgent as Jack ruminates on the philosophical implications of existence rather than facing real-life consequences.
