Goodreads asked Doug Cooper:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Doug Cooper My novel OUTSIDE IN was inspired by the Thoreau quote "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation." I looked around and said, "The desperation is not so quiet anymore." I wanted to depict a modern search for identity in which the lead character gets lost in a haze of excess and instant gratification and becomes the opposite to understand who he truly is.
