"Unicorns" by Christian Garavito is a captivating and thought-provoking novel that explores the complexities of human nature and the struggles of finding one's place in the world. This story follows protagonist Steven, a young man who has been through various experiences, both spiritual and emotional.
From a harrowing journey that combines visions of angels and demons, to memories of abuse and debauchery from his past, Steven's emotions are portrayed with incredible clarity. The text is highly poetic and evocative, conveying an intimacy and honesty that is not often found in literary fiction.
As the story progresses, it becomes increasingly apparent that Steven is a unique and multifaceted character, struggling to find his place and fulfill his potential. Ultimately, the power of this novel lies in its ability to transcend conventional genres and bring readers on an emotional journey through the darkest depths of humanity and the brightest glimpses of hope and redemption.
A young man at last reaches adulthood after a journey, holy and yet profanely subversive. These — aestheticistically pointless but nonetheless meaningful — elegies are a rambling, confused account of overwhelming emotions, by an angel poised between becoming a demon and gaining a new incarnation as an angel.
Christian Garavito’s Unicorns is a tender and deeply personal reflection on the meanings of family, passion, community, identity, and belonging. The story begins with terrible heartache but progresses into a cascade of memorable images, spanning abuse, debauceration, tenderness and empathy, envy and excitement, and the poignant yet primal hazards of young love.
The novel, filled as it is with vivid characters and events, illustrates one writer’s existential and psychological journey, a scene-setting opening act in which everything seems to come to a head, mixing profound emotion and carnal lust into something irreducible. There is reticence, there is passion, there are mistakes bruising each other black and blue, then there is flame-hot euphoria, and then a rush of eternium deep within the soul. From throbbing new beginnings, releases come and go between sweetness and pain, out of those times when penetration and two become no longer two but one.

Вот описание книги для тех, кто с ней не знаком:
Молодой человек наконец достигает совершеннолетия после путешествия одновременно святого и крайне кощунственного. Бессмысленные, казалось бы, стихи - это разрозненное признание в наплыве переполняющих чувств ангела, мечтающего стать демоном, желающего снова стать ангелом. Путь начинается с горького разбитого сердца и завершается каскадом фотографий. Воспоминания о насилии, разгуле, нежности, зависти, экстазе удовольствия и невыносимой, привычной наравне с болью выразительностью, словно рассеивающаяся волна «попперсов». В конце этой дороги юношу освобождают, обращаются в существо, кем он является, – горделивое и сбитое с толку своей собственной природой. Эта природа до боли знакома для послушников Содома и грешников.

Описание книги от Christian Garavito
A young man finally comes of age after a journey at once holy and intensely profane. These (literally) pointless verses are a scattered confession of the overwhelming feelings of an angel waiting to be a demon wanting to be an angel again.The quest begins with a bitter heartbreak but then precipitates into a photograph cascade. Recollections of abuse, debauchery, tenderness, envy, ecstatic pleasure and unbearable yet ordinary pain, all vivid and fleeting, like the evaporating fumes of a hit of poppers.This boy is ultimately liberated into the creature that he is, both proud and bewildered by his own nature. A nature all too familiar to the altar boys of Sodom and sin.
