My Father,the Healer

He was sixteen, trapped between concrete blocks, gangs, cigarettes, asthma attacks, and a father whose love felt more like possession than protection. Then, at a funeral, he saw him. A stranger. A legend. A man the neighborhood called God. From that moment on, Santi's world begins to crack open into obsession, violence, desire, underground power games, psychological torment, and the desperate search for freedom in a collapsing post-communist landscape.
My Father, the Healer is a dark literary fever dream about masculinity, manipulation, trauma, longing, and survival at the edge of society. Brutal, lyrical, and hypnotic, the novel descends into the hidden emotional underworld of a boy trying to understand who he is before the world destroys him.
