Uniquely Human

Meer over het boek

Ernest Fallen belongs to that rare category of writers whose musings are the product of an innately literary and philosophical mind. A natural storyteller, he shapes this most unusual and highly entertaining book around a collection of stories that investigate the psychic imperfections of the human condition. In each of the fifteen stories a cognitive contradiction such as shame and pride, justice and mercy or faith and reason is first described objectively before it is lyrically dramatized in short story form. The book is twice blessed, as it offers the rich insights of a truly passionate and inquisitive writer who is also quite adept at translating those insights into a series of eloquently realized stories.
