Excerpt from A Daughter of This World
MY dear alfred: As by this time you are aware that I have fled New York, decamped without adieu to friend or foe, you doubtless feel that to you at least I owe some explanation.
You remember how I would mope about your studio those days in early June and watch you paint with minute touches the taper fingers of your Madon nas upon a background of gold, and you recall also the severe lectures you then read me on my indolence.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a philosophical treatise that gives readers a fascinating glimpse into the life of an individual who has taken up temporary residence in a small town where he struggles to reconcile his own worldliness with the oppressive and puritanical values of the townspeople. The main character, Mark Fornay, is representative of many freethinkers and agnostics who live on the margins of society and are misunderstood by those who do not share their beliefs. Throughout the book, Fornay clashes with the highly conservative and religious Father Axon. These clashes, which Fornay describes in vivid detail, bring to light the tensions that exist between those rooted in tradition and those who espouse change. It also examines the role of art, both in its aesthetic and intellectual guises, in shaping people and ideas. By investigating these themes, this book is valuable not only for its insights into the life of an individual but also for its analysis of social conflict and the diverse ideas on which individuals base their worldviews.
