| Description: | A fictional examination of Elvis and St. Francis of Assissi.The hero of this novel is intensively involved in the life of his father. What did he find so fascinating about Francis of Assisi and Elvis Presley? In the process he adapts that biography to his own wishes. It increasingly seems that he is rearranging and rewriting his father's life as he sees fit. In a broader prespective, in this novel the first-person character undertakes a passionate attack on historiography. No sea is too high for him to discredit existence. He even presents a new view on the lives of Francis of Assisi and Elvis Presley to strengthen his arguments. The fire with which the characters fight for their place in the world is all too reminiscent of our own daily existence. |
