About the book
About The Visitor from the First Circle of Hell
A book written from a first-person perspective doesn't automatically make it a memoir or a biography. Sometimes, it is just done to make the communication between the reader and the author a bit more intimate; also, it is easier for the author to write in the first person. The meaning of anything-be it a book, painting, movie, or life circumstances-solely sits on the one who observes it. There is never a universal key-lock combination. What is written in this book is an allegory of the life of the lead character. Maybe it is all just a dream, maybe it is the last bits of lucid thoughts that flash before the character dies, or it may be the visualizations of a brain going into a seizure. The less you think about it, the more the book will make sense. The lack of structure is intended, and it may drive some of the readers crazy, but then again, structure is subjective from person to person. Read this book as if it is a fevered dream within a fevered dream. There might be things that you could find out from the book that even the writer missed.
