A Message

I think books that have a message to portray is really good. I mean, it is not everyday that we see such stories blossom from within the bookstore, inviting us for a feast. Words that are both powerful and beautiful, and can be easily digested.

These books are designed to be which they are, an unfiltered version of the uncompromised truth and a full description of the world, where hate is inconveniently located and that the good is to be definitely found, if we search far and wide and with due dillegence.

It is within the responsibility of this book, then, to portray the story of the author in such a way that it mirrors himself, or someone else's experience, and look straight into the world; musing at the highlight of existence, founded on philosophical questions while addressing the aesthetic value of the carefully crafted literary narrative.

This is how we triumph in this world: by writing what we feel inside in order to criticize those around us, and demand their full attention to everything that needs to be said; while we know attention doesn't last.

As we are hooked, we are tricked into finishing the book, absorbing everything that has been said, albeit a question lingers with after taste inside our mouths. Insisting, pursuing. Nagging to be heard, and to command attention, and it will be done.

A book can do that most of the time, actually. A rich imagination takes us to the far corners of our thinking. Once the goal has been reached, it is in this phase that the book has undoubtedly succeeded. It conveys the message under the guise of entertainment. It tackles the problems of the world, condensed in a plot so powerful that it made us think, realize. And question our very existence. Doubt everything the world has to say.

It is quite a message, indeed.
