The Flowers II: Wanting Souls

By: Emiliano, Carlos

The Flowers tells the story of Cardoza as he makes his way during the collapse of America, in the middle and late 21st century, searching for love and salvation in the wreckage of it all. His is a modern odyssey and an adventure, but it is also a wandering in which he encounters incarnations of evil and ignorance. The Flowers is a story of love and sorrow and the place of courage and resistance in the cold, new, and strange totalitarian world of Deuray--what America had become. This intergenerational saga is a paean to the music of human existence and a comment upon its ineffable folly. Cardoza's is a classic struggle toward what beckons us all: the ever-mysterious circumstances of love, freedom, sacrifice, happiness, and death. Cardoza would like to believe in humanity's will to create lasting community, peace, and a sense of purpose of the kind his ancestor found on the Western Plains. In The Flowers, Cardoza struggles to find a perspective from which he can believe the world might heal itself, and from where we can love and protect our children. He knows that will take a transformation of the collective soul. The Flowers stands as a prolegomenon. It is also a prophesy about what can happen if we are not very careful that we address injustice and the appetites of evil individuals and those others, Cardoza calls them "The Mob," who participate in it.
