Jonathan Strong is not so sure. Loneliness and self and boredom yes. But maybe no banquet over there where the titans and the adults live. His narrators do encounter a few older people who give them some cause for hope. There is Supperberger, a composer whose music has affected the story's young narrator. If Supperberger has succeeded, then maybe it is possible that art is a salvation...
