The painter under the spotlight

Author's name: Alfonso Croshdar Publisher: Maskelyani Publishing and Distribution Year of publication: 2015 Literary category: Novel Brief about the book: The circle was the first shape Joseph Sures drew. It is the most natural form, capable of containing everything. It is the womb of all shapes. They say that if a blindfolded person is asked to walk in a straight line, they walk in circles. Why does a person walk in circles when their eyes are closed? It is a mystery, but the blindfolded person walks inward, and time also twists and does not move straight. Time is like a blindfolded person. In fact, everything moves in circles, starting from memories and ending with stories. And one day, everything will become tangled. Perfect straight lines do not exist. Everything is round, and everyone moves around everyone else. People are obsessed with straight lines, with very straight buildings, with rules, and with artificial things. And these things are straight only in appearance, as can be verified under a microscope. However, straight lines have dominated people's hearts, so they refer to the word "straight" as laws and what is correct. The straight is good, and the curved is evil. But Sures is still too young to think about these matters, so he kept drawing circles, one after the other. And he only drew straight lines at a very late time. And thus, childhood faded with the passing years, and some hair grew above the upper lip.
