The Wall And The Abyss
J.M. Campos, author
With subtleties of Dostoyevsky’s spiritual existentialism, touches of Kafkaesque narrative and voices that evoke Emerson’s Transcendentalism, "The Wall and the Abyss" is a transformative novel of a man who walks through India, Nepal and Southeast Asia in search of his wife. She talks to him through timely letters that she leaves on specific destinations, along the way. But she is never there, therefore he is forced to move to the next destination. He lives the paradox of search and find. The search keeps him walking while finding is the end of the road. He needs to search but he must not find. His wife knows this and makes sure to keep him walking. He sets on this journey and expects nothing from it, except the end, or even death. But he finds unexpected people on the way, and he has to endure crude realizations. He finds the worst and the best of humans. He learns the destruction caused by human nature and the transformation hidden in human spirit. And, in the end, he finds that his journey goes beyond the search for his wife. He learns that his despondency is rooted in things that go much deeper than his loss.
