"Yet do you not know, that there are questions so beautiful, so sublime, that their aesthetic power alone requires they are not answered; because even to attempt an answer would be to sully their elegance."
Mr. Happy and the Hammer of God is a collection of short stories by Martin Egblewogbe 'in which different aspects of reality are explored.' Often writing in a style quite distinct from the usual, Martin weaves his way through the complex psychology of characters who appear trapped in personal quagmires.
In the end, the convoluted side of humankind--so often pushed away deep into the shadows of the unconsciousness, for fear of the probable threats they present to the unconfronted self--is brought so forcefully to the fore.
I love this book. One cannot help but identify on so many levels with this this book.
The collection is divided into 2: Part I holds 7 stories in total while Part II presents 3 stories featuring ''a 'demon-haunted' character involved in a desperate search for salvation...''
