The Frankenstein Condition
"Stop making monsters and start enjoying life!" Once again, featuring yet another local Ottawa indie-author, Robert Smith has addressed a wonderfully fantastic topic without being bogged down in its darkness.
Stunningly gorgeous book, this one will catch your eye!
But beyond its 'curb appeal', there is substance to its writing and Robert Smith's insight on life digs deep into what ails us all.
This is a fantastic introduction to each and every one of our Frankenstein monsters - erroneous reflections we've created out of bits and pieces, a shattered mirror we stare into, somehow hoping to becomes something impossible and, ulimately, monsterous.
Robert Smith introduces this idea and avenues to abandon these false images.
Frank, honest and heartfelt, Smith bring an overwhelming hope and freshness to an otherwise dark topic.
It is with excitement and baited breath that I await its sequel!
(I've heard unconfirmed rumours it could make titled "Sucksess")
