Calypso of the Appenine Way: Obsessive Love and Enveloping Passion

Sept. 10, 2008 - PRLog -- A cynical character, Luke, is consumed with love for a young Italian girl, Eleonora. Their relationship is used to develop conflicting themes, including love versus anti-love, sincerity versus cynicism, reality versus myth, and bravery versus foolhardiness. These sometimes subterranean ideas work in a subtle relationship to each other and, in the hidden interstices between conflicting themes, produce a compelling and profound work.

John Wallen is a writer and academic who has already published several collections of short stories under the pseudonym of "Jon Aristides."
