The Village: About Friendship and Choices

When the fire fell from the sky over the village, he brought something with him. >Dialoguing with influences ranging from Plato and Socrates to classic dystopian fiction, "The Village" challenges the reader to consider uncomfortable truths of thin lines of characters. With rhythmic prose, it demands to be read slowly. The narrative moves from the cosmic to the intimate, from the final moments of a major event to a young couple's first kiss under the stars; from government conspiracies to descent into madness; from philosophical digressions on the nature of consciousness to viscerally brutal scenes of horror and survival. For readers who appreciate literary horror in the tradition of Cormac McCarthy's "The Road", José Saramago's "Blindness", or classic philosophical fiction, "The Village" offers a unique voice of contemporary literature. The darkness within human hearts proves as deadly as any misfortune.
