Little Brown Warts Between Legs

Note on the novel "Between Heaven and Hell, a universe divided" (fragment)

His novel is an immersion in the divine and demonic planes that exist within us, but presented here in its archetypal spaces (Heaven / Hell) and the characters that are culturally assigned: angels, God, demons, Lucifer. The central character is an unnamed woman who "stir heaven and hell" as popularly say, looking for answers, your name and the things he loves, and lost and found along their journey. This novel brings us into contact with universal symbols (Western) and the terrors and dreams that once populated our childhood. There is a path linking his poems and the novel: the strange simplicity of the primary symbols, with their magical play of opposites: the dragon and the princess, the angel and the devil, everyday life and the infinite, and so on. In both books is a girl-woman with no name that looks good, in constant struggle against the illusions or harshness of reality.
