The adventures of an English boy through boarding school and hitchhiking through Europe. The protagonist has a brief relationship with a homosexual (although there is also some typical boarding school homoeroticism), but is mostly presented as pursuing women.
Rushing Nowhere was a generic take on the lost youth finding himself. The only reason I read this book was to see the depiction of the "sexual invert." I would say that is the only mildly interesting thing there.
