The Chiaroscuro

En savoir plus sur le livre

Young Jerome Baker seeks to reconcile his tragic past and aspirational future, as he grows to understand himself by way of his complex motivations, unknown origins, and obsessive, secretive passions. Jerome's edification is seeded in two basic principles. The first of these is an undeniable reality: just as yin's concentrated dot manifests within yang's spirit, yang's fiery spark animates yin's arcane darkness. The one is contained within the other. Their imperative duality is both actual and impossible, which is the sublime key. The second tenet is truth; one must face one's own, and affirm it - or destiny becomes appallingly disfigured. The Chiaroscuro chronicles a flawed hero's quest for enlightenment via the raw romp that is his heart, as he discovers illumination often lurks hidden in the very shadows it casts.
