In Hunger Street author Oscar Pallotta follows the spiritual awakening of his flawed characters struggling to make sense of life. Their stories pull us in with their ordinary lives and complex inner selves as they unravel the illusions that make life believable.
As an author and spiritual seeker, he matches spiritual concepts with everyday situations en route to self-discovery, "we identify with our ego, our mind, and our thoughts, but we are neither, we are ineffable souls."
Most of the story is set in Hunger Street an unusual place for spiritual growth, "Chiara observed Hunger Street remembering the evolution from a neglected blind alley to a chaotic street filled with food trucks, smoke, and grease smell to an about-to-become a beautiful, romantic, and artistic street. Hunger Street was evolving like her life or better yet -her soul."
