And one day, you are foolish enough to retrace your steps, thinking that the exceptional can be exceptional again: Time travel and magical realism in Carpentier's The Lost Steps
Wow, this is a breathtaking analysis! As I read your words, I find myself seeing more clearly how, at the crossroads of fate and free will, the weight of the rock and the call of joy are not opposing forces but companions on our journey. Joy, as you illuminate, is something we cultivate—like tending a garden, where the true essence of joy lies not in what we receive, but in how we choose to receive it. Thank you for these beautiful insights ✨️🙏🏽
Thank you for reading! I’m so glad it resonates. 🥰 I like how you’ve framed it, the weight of the rock and the call of joy are indeed companions on our journey!
Thank you! And yes, I am a therapist in my day job and take a lot inspiration from Jungians’ collective conscious - and how we can find themes of it in the books we read!
Another great analysis and another book to add to my ever-growing list. To be overwhelmed with knowledge yet gained is another kind of blessing. Thanks for your thoughtful words!

This is a very well-written article! And is the publication named after something Jungian?
