La Rosa, Giacomo. 2016. 27 Doors. Master's thesis, Harvard Extension School.Abstract
This novella is a fantasy thriller that wants to deal with death and its various shapes throughout a surreal journey, where a superior power challenges the protagonist to face his own guilt, or original sin.Characters and storylines travel through time to recurring locations, connecting like in a puzzle, where only at the very end they will find the final resolution.
Touching afterlife themes, the story remains as earthly as it can be, letting morality dance with the uncertain context. Religious elements are present, representing the ongoing battle of evil vs. good, all within the personal decisions of a young man forced to enter each one of twenty-seven doors. But at the end, each door will be forced to comply with his innocent soul.
The story doesn’t follow a straight pattern at first. The rules of the world change constantly, yet the plot is ignited from the first word.
