Helene and Paul - A Characterological Romance (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Helene and Paul presents a fascinating South Beach experiment in unconditional love between Paul, an impoverished author who lives in a squalid hovel, and Helene, the matriarch of a prominent family. They are friends in the etymological sense of 'friend,' that is, their relationship is rooted in 'freedom,.' but they seem otherwise hopelessly mismatched. We might deem Helene, raised strictly in an ostensibly good home, a narcissistic female, yet in doing so we will hopefully gain some insight into our own nature as individuals regardless of our gender. Both of our protagonists, by the way, have taken the Narcissist Personality Inventory. Paul scored 16 of 40, about the average level of narcissism, while Helene scored 17. Both claim others are narcissists, identifying some of them as "malignant" narcissists. This gives us cause to wonder because both know enough about narcissism to get an average result from the 40 questions and make fools out of the authors of such tests. However that may be, Helene and Paul proves the old adage true, that there is somebody for everybody to love, and demonstrates that unconditional love is not always self-destructive and evil. Quite to the contrary in this fascinating characterological study.

Autorenporträt

David Arthur Walters is an independent journalist who lives in the South Beach area of Miami Beach, Florida. David Arthur Walters is a poor man's writer-wunderkind who takes on the philosophical big guns of our age with sleight-of-hand logic and epistemological flourishes worthy of Foucault. But don't let that fool you. In a pinch he can write a play based on La Dame aux camellias, no doubt inspired by Dumas, and render sidewalk chalk-art tres chic after Picasso. Baudelaire could easily have been his drinking buddy if we were to imagine time in reverse, which Mr. Walters compels us to consider through the Ouspenskian lens of Eternal Recurrence and other stuff worthy of a Dali painting a la melting clock faces. Herein lies the genius of David Arthur Walters, jack of all trades and master jester of Nan, that far-off land in which lived the holy fool of William Blake's prodigious imagination. Writer, dancer, word-artist, satirist, and clown, David Arthur Walters brings it all to the page, compelling us to wave our hand-fans in astonishment at the nerve of the man, the impropriety, the utter genius of his whackadoodle mind. May his works live on in the annals of Time! (Melina Costello, Author of Seeking the God of Ecstasy: A Spiritual Journey of Sexual Awakening, Tutti-Frutti Town: Blinky Blueberry Finds A Friend)
