Description: Through the lens of the Prodigal Son parable, Raduan Nassar brings readers into the passion and delirium of a young man struggling for his place in his family and on his land, By way of his inexorable attraction to his sister, fear of and admiration for his father, and near religious dedication to the family farm, the protagonist Andr experiences psychologically and physically the great dichotomy of choice between Mind and Body, Free Will and Destiny, and Good and Evil.
