"Chasing Sophia"
A modern love story, sans romance, from a male point of view. We follow a young boy barely discovering the differences between boys and girls through adolescence to adulthood. After detailing various crushes, obsessions, and flings with several females before the protagonist comes to realize he's chasing a romanticized ideal and not an actual person. After a bout of despair and depression the man comes to terms with 'the many faced temptress' and comes to relate to women on a personal level, not based upon how they make him feel. The book's ending is vague and seemingly without conclusion.
Guaranteed to be rejected by both sexes, the piece will be most known by devout fans who argue about the female archetypes and religious undertones of the novel.

How is this without romance?
ReplyDeleteFine, it's romantic. I didn't think it sounded romantic but you're the critic.
