Dear Alejo,
I have been reading your book and would love to be enlightened by your inspiration behind this novel. My heart was torn and my mind was opened to the horrors of th reality of hybridism and mystical realism in "The Kingdom of This World." I would like to know your view of humanity in relation to the authorial conscious, in relation to a higher being than self. In your last sectionm you titled it with the latin translation of "Lamb of God." You say that Ti Noel was a "body of flesh to which things had happened." The undertone that I percieve is that of our life is not our own and that we are controlled by another. Do you believe that we are merely puppets acting out a dramatic episode, or that we have the freedom of choice and therefore action?
"Man only find his greatness in the kingdom of this world." To me, I interpret your thoughts as though humanity is a vapor in the wind. That this life is but a stepping stone to a greater glory, and therefore, to a God much bigger than we could imagine. Voodoo intertwines itself through the pages of your novel. I view this an an earthly kingdom of darkness only to be trampled by the life of greatness that we will walk into. I would love to hear your wisdom.
With Admiration, Hailee
