A beautiful journey through an aching and desolated heart of a man trapped between his paranoid state of realm that he’s so keen to keep alive, and the past that’s hunting him for too long.
We’ve all got that dark place where we keep the things that hurt us, and so does John. Has he denied too much of himself? Will he be able to reconstruct his life before the world crumbles to dust around him?
Having wrote mostly essays his entire life, David E. tries his hand for the first time with his debut novel, “The Thing”. Mixing dialogues and introspective thoughts, it’s easy to see that his habit of arguing and decomposing things to pieces, then putting them back together in a gloomish, yet realistic style hasn’t left him. Jumping from one chapter to another, in distant yet parallel situations, he manages to capture the distinct pattern of a tired and paranoid mind.
