Kuvaus
As the book proceeds, Don's sense of the real and the meaningful is expanded through his experiences with these people and his own mind. Marian moves from being an unwitting user of other people's experiences to the victim of Hosea, who uses the experiences of others--from the future and the past as well as the present--to create his art and his life.
This novel is an exploration of the various levels of "reality" and the potential sources from which we derive information: sensual perception, intuition, and noncognitive insight. This work contemplates, among other things what we believe to be the limits of the rational and real. The book also deals with the concept of barriers--such as inside and outside, life and death, good and evil, the conscious and subconscious minds--in terms of whether these really exist or are artifacts of perception. Lastly, and subtly, the novel explores the difficulty of accepting and integrating life and death in certain cultures, in this case that of modern mainstream America.
