Emotional, forceful, and thought provoking. Interesting use of various genre combining in a way that makes sense of the whole. Style is used dynamically to convey the evolution of character. The story steadily builds from the beginning, leaving the reader in a daze at the end.
Book Description
A child is born under bizarre circumstances, and after a few short years, orphaned, to survive the rest of childhood under cruel conditions. By adulthood, he graduates to a life of crime, corruption and the use of an hallucinogenic drug, causing the release of suppressed memories from his subconscious. His curiosity about the nature of reality and the meaning of life ripens to an obsession, leading him into the world of occultism. Here, he plunges into realms so overwhelming he loses his mind. Committed to an insane asylum, he discovers there is a method to his madness and confounds the experts with philosophical insights they learn to respect if not accept. Christopher ends up on Skid Row, homeless and destitute, but years later, a profound experience provides clues to his true origin and the inspiration to rise above his condition. He embarks on a journey to Ethiopia and Egypt where he stumbles on a most remarkable find. There his destiny begins to unfold.
