Lunatopics

Lunatopics

by Ivan Radev

It will be a strange journey. At times it will be naively romantic, but it will also be violently critical of society, its norms, its religions, but also hypercritical of myself. This collection of essayistic short stories will examine the lunacy in all of us, but it will never condemn it. No – it will embrace it – all of it – its colorful hyper romanticism and its dark cynical urges.

In the beginning the book starts with short stories which set the tone for what is to come. It delves into the seas of madness which are explored throughout the whole piece. The initial parts are dark so that the beautiful emotions later can shine that much brighter. Then the concepts of freedom and revolution are introduced, so as to ready the reader for the cornerstone stories. The first of those stories is that of the Unhumans, inspired by Nietzsche’s Superman. The Unhumans are a metaphor for the righteousness which is seemingly dead in this world. Then, the journey inside the Lunatorium follows, which is the centerpiece in the book. It examines in a very unconventional way the different kinds of madness in this world, and attempts to make a stand regarding what is right and what is wrong. The story of Lunatorium continues on in Temporalia, a critical extrapolation of what the future holds, if nothing is done to remedy the current problems of humanity. Dystopic, but yet filled with hope, Temporalia is an adventure story which takes place on Earth, underneath it, and across the stars. Finally, a poetic conclusion summarizes the book, which will hopefully remain a memorable experience for all those who read it.
