Maggiori informazioni sul libro
"Rooftops" explores trauma, survival, and redemption through the story of Eddy, a young boy from an immigrant family entangled with organized crime, raised by a Vietnam War veteran suffering from PTSD. The author, diagnosed with a rare trauma-based memory condition, provides a unique perspective on mental health, offering insights into a complex experience often depicted in fiction. Written with lyrical simplicity, the narrative captures the raw essence of Eddy's life, blending elements of fantasy reminiscent of "Life of Pi" and "American Psycho." It is a gripping tale marked by horror, but not in the conventional sense; it is both shocking and gentle, unflinching in its portrayal of Eddy's journey. The reader is drawn into the characters' thoughts, torn between the urge to continue reading and the hope for a brighter outcome. As Eddy navigates his troubled past while attempting to craft a story about demons and vampires, he is accompanied by Jackdragon, a creature from his childhood dreams. Together, they traverse from 1970s Sydney to New York, confronting the shadows of Eddy's history and ultimately seeking forgiveness. The unexpected ending adds a layer of surprise, making this a compelling read that merges high art with elements of horror. Highly recommended.
