The Fractured Soul - Illustrations
The Fractured Soul is illustrated with over 70 cartoons. Expect to meet philosophical cats, corporate pigeons, molecules with attitude, and an assortment of humans being distinctly human.
Because sometimes, the best way to understand the profound mechanics of existence is to laugh at the sheer absurdity of it all.
The Fractured Soul - The Journey
"This is not a book that grabs you by the elbow and marches you briskly towards a conclusion. It wanders. It pauses. It notices odd things by the side of the road.
One thought opens onto another; one question reveals a stranger one behind it.
Rather than pretending to arrive at absolute certainty, it follows the more fluid thread of curiosity — because being human is messy, contradictory and rarely boring enough to move in a straight line."
