Description
“Let everything happen to you. Beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final.” The poignant words of Austrian poet Rainer Maria Rilke are the titular inspiration for this collection of immersive stories on the complexity of the human experience. Life presents us with a grave and often precarious journey that compels us to navigate both the intoxicating rapture of wish fulfillment and self-actualization, as well as the devastating threat of failure, death and abandonment.
Follow Malik Touré through six gripping stories of pain, pleasure and perseverance, spanning the literary spectrum from chilling true stories of personal loss to provocative fantasies of romantic love and critical examinations of humanity’s most prominent existential questions. Touré’s uniquely poetic prose guides readers through the tawdry tale of a religious cult, a day in the desolate life of the homeless, and emphasizes the pivotal necessity of holding on to hope in the face of the most agonizing adversity. A must read for fans of both character-driven drama and social exposition alike.
