Lenore Beadsman nu știe prea bine cine este. Captivă într-un sistem de relații și discursuri care o construiesc, Lenore este subiectul îndoctrinării străbunicii Lenore – fostă studentă și discipol al lui Wittgenstein –, al ședințelor dubioase de psihoterapie ale nevroticului doctor Jay, ale avansurilor lui Norman Bombardini – gigantul ingineriei genetice, hotărât să ingurgiteze întreaga lume –, al geloziei și poveștilor macabre narate de șeful și iubitul ei, Rick Vigorous – editor cu mari ambiții literare și cu complexe pe măsură – și al atenției lui Andy Lang, o fantomă a trecutului.

În zorii lumii, spun legendele mayașe din care se inspiră Asturias, zeii au eșuat de mai multe ori în eforturile de a crea omul, până când au descoperit substanța potrivită pentru a forma creatura definitivă: porumbul. Romanul aduce laolaltă plămădirea omului de porumb cu denunțarea incisivă a efectelor devastatoare pe care le-a avut capitalismul asupra obiceiurilor și credințelor ancestrale ale populațiilor rurale. Printre sunete, simboluri și metafore, pendulând necontenit între real și oniric, povestea duce, în cele din urmă, la deznădejde, depersonalizare și dezumanizare.

My name is Thomas, and like the apostle I was named after, I have had my share of doubts. But I have also had a deep longing—a longing for unity among believers in Christ. I grew up Roman Catholic, went to Mass weekly, memorized catechism answers, and felt a deep respect for tradition. But when I married a Protestant woman and began attending her church too, a flood of questions washed over me. Why were we so divided when we professed the same creeds? Why did we debate communion, baptism, saints, and Scripture as if they were walls between us rather than shared treasures?

The spiritual path is a journey into joy. In joy, life flows freely in us and we flow freely in life. We do not learn to live in joy overnight; it is a lifelong process. Joy is not found merely by smiling and thinking positive thoughts, but by releasing our blocks and opening, a step at a time, to our soul. Pain is a message that something is wrong. We can grow by constructively dealing with it, but when we live with consciousness and skill, we minimize pain and increasingly grow through joyful means rather than the “school of hard knocks.” Growing Through Joy can help you experience ...
