The Desert

Allen Wheelis

4.9/5 (33710 ratings)

Description:"With the insights of the psychoanalyst and the skill of the accomplished story-teller, Allen Wheelis has fashioned a profound, disturbing novel of the spiritual climate of our times and the anguished people who seek to survive in it. In "The desert," the wasteland of value in which we live, three of its inhabitants wander in an extremity of spiritual dehydration: Ariana - locked in a destructive marriage; Scott, her husband - driven by insatiable sexual obsessions; The narrator-psychoanalyst, in love with Ariana but powerless to alter the situation. All three, on the far side of their despair, are haunted by the question of personal change - whether it is possible or whether it is simply one more of the mirages of this endless desert. In a series of lucid meditations, interwoven with the narrative chapters of the novel, the psychoanalyst deals with this central issue. With the intertwining of the dramatic and reflective modes, the author gives a greater dimension to each; the work enforces a far-reaching confrontation between the methods and insights of psychoanalysis and the doubts and exigencies of existential thought. The Desert is a work of originality and deep insight, as will come as no surprise to those familiar with Allen Wheelis' previous books"--We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
