Who am I?
From the time I was introduced to Depeche Mode, I quickly realized there was an underground scene dissecting the darker realms of human nature. It’s no easy task translating emotion into tangible products like film, books, and music, so if an artist can fixate an audience by getting them to interpret themselves and, the world, more effectively, there’s great value in that. If it hadn’t been for that, I probably wouldn’t have achieved things like being an award-winning author, a paralegal from the University of Texas at Austin, manage workshops via Airbnb Experiences, or receive academic certificates thru Coursera like the Science of Well-Being from Yale and Managing the Company of the Future from London Business School.

Sorrow's Garden: A Novel
By Anthony Carinhas
What is my book about?
Sorrow's Garden is an absorbing tale about a psyche on the brink of calamity. Despite Radulf’s international successes as an architect and editor, his understanding of the world is ensnared in a vortex of compulsion.Even long after his motive is unmasked, his continued pursuit to exploit promise and illusion to prospective victims isn’t enough to stop himself from indulging in devious schemes.
The Books I Picked & Why
The Driver's Seat
By Muriel Spark
Why this book?
For good reason, Spark herself claimed the novel a personal favorite. Set in Northern Europe, Driver’s Seat is a fascinating portrayal of a woman gone mad. Adapted into a movie directed by Giuseppe Griffi, the film stars Elizabeth Taylor and Andy Warhol, a movie I highly recommend after the book is read. This cult classic may have been written in the late ‘60s, but it superbly touches on issues relevant today. Everything from travel, fashion, sexual opportunity, trendy diets, religion, and personal freedom, Spark brilliantly lures readers into a world of isolation despite all the luxury amenities people had access to then and now. It’s a cruel tale about human nature confronted by a self-annihilating reality.
Black Wings Has My Angel
By Elliott Chaze
Why this book?
First published as a Gold Medal Book in 1953, this gritty noir is an insatiable read about greed, gluttony, and lust. Tim Sunblade is a WWII vet who served in the Pacific and carries a piece of metal lodged in his skull. Chaze fears nothing when it comes to characters on the run from a past they’d much rather see burn into oblivion. This post-war story is full of rebellion against mundane lifestyles and all the responsibilities that go with making the self-made man. Along his voyage, Sunblade gets wrapped up with a succulent, money obsessed femme fatale who loves to roll around nude in piles of cash as they crisscross the country. This masterpiece is nothing short of tacky pulp-fiction, but literature that has no fear shedding light on big issues and people who are faced with an inevitable future they don’t want. This book also has one hell of an ending, so buckle up. Americana at its best!
Nausea
By Jean-Paul Sartre, Richard Howard
Why this book?
Written in diary format, Nausea is a story about a young man, Antoine Roquentin, a writer horrified by his own existence. Many who are fascinated by art from the darker aspects of loneliness will find this short novel exhilarating. The protagonist is in an endless flux of desire, depression, sickness, and the absurdity of life. A dangerous mix that has lethal outcomes on the human psyche. Make no mistake, Sartre’s criticism and writing style is a tough read, especially for those who might feel they’ve truly never sought risk to live an interesting life. It’s a raw look into a mind overwhelmed by intolerable anxiety. There’s a lot of reflection on the modern society in Nausea, but I would take it with a grain of salt since Sartre’s Existentialism and Neo-Marxism views take a bold look at the sensitive tensions between individual freedom and overreaching power.
Frisk
By Dennis Cooper
Why this book?
Released in the early ‘90s, Frisk was adapted into a film in the mid-90s by Todd Verow. Both received mixed reviews due its transgressive content about madness and bizarre sexual aesthetic. Frisk leaves little to the imagination as the narrator explores taboo photography and sexual deviance while traveling through Holland. Critics and fans found this breakthrough novel deeply polarizing because it involves a gay character obsessed with annihilation. Nevertheless, the overall theme is about victimization, and a culture obsessed with objectification. Despite the novel’s punk prose and hypnotic pacing, there’s something to be said when humanity has a tendency to destroy what society deems perfect. Cooper definitely explores how human desire can become just as fanatical as a religious zealot. A must read for fans of cinematic gore.
Dirty Snow
By Georges Simenon, Marc Romano
Why this book?
Simenon is a master storyteller and father of the noir genre. He quit school as a teenager and never attended a writing program. Dirty Snow is filled with psychological insight and hard facts about life. The main character, Frank Friedmaier, is a brawny young man who lives in his mother’s brothel in France under German occupation. A horrible crime, along with heinous acts, are committed because he cares about nothing and does things without reason. His life is deprived of a father and that void quickly becomes occupied by whores that facilitate a man without optimism. Simenon vividly takes us on a trip into the mind of a creature that can be uncomfortable for a lot of people. This is yet another dark classic about an anti-hero challenged by the notion that he is a man like any other.
'A Short History of Decay'
by E.M. Cioran
As a writer and philosopher, Cioran wrote books like On the Heights of Despair and The Trouble with Being Born. But it's not all gloomy (okay, maybe it is). Cioran talks about the absurdity of human life with wit, skillful writing, and even humor. His mother told him she would have had an abortion if he had been so miserable. In one interview, he talked about that. Instead of being saddened by this comment, he reportedly found comfort in the idea that his life was just an accident. An interesting person, to say the least.
