Filiad

[FILIAD]is literary fiction, a book that shares a similar explosive subject matter with Nabokov's Lolita; a heart drilling novel about unsolved problems and difficult subject matter, incest. The book is a confession, Besovsky's story of incestuous obsession, passion, ravening jealousy. The story has been told from the perpetrator's angle, not from a view point of the victim. In the aftermath of an uneventful African fête, Blanche gives her father a good-night kiss that goes astray and shatters their life. Michael gets obsessed with his 11-year-old-daughter. What has malignantly sprung from a neglected love, swells monstrous all the time but the narrator calls it nothing but—love. Will Besovsky find the answer to the damn questions of our existence, the most intimate secret recesses of the heart, the maze of the subconsciousness that is under the pressure of life's moral degradation?
