okay la verdad no termine de entender bien de que se trataba, es un fuck you a la religión y a la sociedad, es el ser joven y empezar a tener tus propias decisiones y formarte como individuo, la verdad me cago el final con la mamá, ósea entiendo lo que quería hacer pero nose estuvo raro que superficialmente pareciera que el vato tuviera crush en la mamá de su amigo. Siento que si este libro fuera escrito ahora sería más del pov de la comunidad lgbtq+, unrequited love, longing, fuck society etc etc y mi mente de este siglo fue lo que entendió especialmente con el beso al final, lo de que era de parte de la mamá ya me pareció innecesario y algo raro (aunque se que es metáfora pero nose como que cosas así me recuerdan que el autor es hombre y los hombres piensan de cierta manera que me caga) en fin, viva la homosexualidad, demian queer non-binary icon
An extremely bisexual book that gets increasingly esoteric and symbolic to the point that I don't really know what to do with it. The beginning is very strong, full of repression and longing, a perfect little journey of gay self-discovery, but as it goes on, increasingly gnostic and Jungian, I lost the threads. By the end our Sinclair is essentially living with a cohort of fellow bohemian bourgeois, seeing himself as übermensch, communing psychically with his hot friend and his hot mom, obsessed only with discovering himself. There's some truly weird dynamics here that I loved, especially between Sinclair and Demian, but in the end frankly it was kind of all in service of some new age bullshit.
