The Invisible Boy

About this book

Between existence and nothingness.. the tale of the boy who became a shadow. On a quiet autumn morning, Kinan awoke to find himself deprived of the most precious thing a human owns: his "presence." It was no fleeting dream or heavy nightmare, but a glaring truth he faced before his room's mirror, which now reflected nothing but emptiness. Kinan, the boy who filled the house with noise and life, suddenly became "unseen": hearts perceive him while eyes cannot, and walls hear him while those dearest to him cannot touch his specter. The journey begins in his narrow room, then widens into a grand adventure through the city's crowded alleys, where Kinan discovers that "disappearance" is not necessarily a curse, but may be a window to seeing the world as it truly is, without embellishment. From behind the curtain of "invisibility," Kinan watches human struggles, his mother's streaming tears of longing for him, and his father's bewilderment as he searches for him in every corner, while he stands beside them, touching their pains yet unable to whisper a single word to them. In a literary style blending realism.
