Parallel

This story is about the struggles of a young man who is running away from his destiny; a destiny filled with expectations to follow in his father’s footsteps. His father is a prominent figure in their society and it is up to his son to become a beacon of hope after their homeland is devastated by an invading empire, affecting everyone, especially the main characters. Throughout the story, reoccurring events haunt the main character, but in actuality, help transcend this young man, who is also dealing with his own internal immaturities, into adulthood and to the destiny he never thought he wanted.

Andrew Giuliano Lo Russo

Andrew Giuliano Lo Russo currently lives in Southern California. Originally from Milan, Italy, he spent the majority of his life in the United States, frequently travelling back to Italy to visit family. Having grown up away from relatives, he has always felt a disconnect from life and in constant search for his true self. This life-long exploration has found its way onto the canvass, music and most profoundly in literature. He began writing poetry over 20 years ago as a method of recording his deepest thoughts, emotions and fears. About 15 years ago, he began writing Parallel as a means of understanding his own path in life, but paralleling his life with that of the book’s main character. All of his writings are centred on his search for the meaning of life in a world that can be chaotic, yet beautiful at the same time.
