Lilith - Andra Dare

Daily to Lilyth

 "...Lilyth reasserts me with her daily existing, the growing expectation, increasingly skin-deep, that the secret of the universe, cosmic or quantum, is Love / (Hate). This is not so far from the philosophers of antiquity when they talked about cosmic forces of attraction and repulsion. As those who, without any measurement tool, spoke of a heliocentric system and the plump roundness of our planet. I do not know if she perceives it in herself. It is indistinct. We all have blind spots, shadows we fail to glimpse if not with the help of a mirror, friend or foe. She takes it in, she is the carrier of the ultimate secret why so many men and women, individuals or whole societies, suffer, kill, die, become distorted in their ignorance. It makes me giddy..."

 More than a novel, the book could be considered a travel story in first person, although the author uses the classic appeal of the manuscript accidentally found (Stevenson, Hesse's Steppenwolf, for example). It hardly contains action or characters plot. Its speech focuses on the creative and romantic obsessions of a mind that has some of the nineteenth-century romanticism in a body that wanders through the twentieth century's Tunisia and Sicily.

 In this sense, then, it is not a book to big claims but rather a narrative account of intimate nature as it takes the form of a diary. The character who is speaking to us goes from the outside to the inside at a constant coming and going, both poles feeding back each other for the story development.
