Description: This book opens as the annual childhood fight erupts on the playground between bullies and victims. The author uses this scene to explore themes present throughout the novel: the subtle and overt cruelty found in our everyday interactions; the generational repetition of trauma; and the struggle for identity and dignity in the face of adversity. Through poetic prose and descriptive language, the author crafts a powerful story where internal landscapes of characters are given as much weight as the historical events shaping their lives. Particularly noteworthy is a dream sequence that plays out like a surrealist play within the book, mirroring both the societal and personal battles being waged. In this dream, God himself appears to a young boy, himself a victim of the same playground cruelty, revealing the depth to which this work seeks to explore humanity at its best and worst. This book will appeal to readers of literary fiction and anyone interested in how art illuminates the darkness found within ourselves and the societies we build.
