Broken Umbrellas is an unusual literary work that explores human beings' most primitive emotions and feelings through a series of different, interconnected stories. These are stories that explore madness and dementia as alternative avenues for surviving a reality that overwhelms us. The author reflects upon the value of death and freedom, and takes us through the ins and outs of repressed violence—always unjustified—but so often desired. Broken Umbrellas intends to be much more than just a collection of stories. Through its words, it seeks to offer introspective reading, rouse reflective analysis of the human spirit, and provide electrifying amusement—only for the most daring.
