Emy’s Loneliness and the Tulips in her Pockets (Unabridged‪)‬

These short stories and poems are about the uneasiness of being alive and the characters' feeble attempts not to go off the deep end. The philosophical movement that influences this manuscript is Antinatalism, hence I suggest referring to it for a better understanding.

They have a variety of inspirations:


Franco Basaglia's revolutionary heterodoxy in psychiatry.
The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka.
People's passive obedience to lockdown measures.
Cultural clash.
The abolition of life imprisonment and the death penalty, and the reform of the entire judicial system by adopting Restorative Justice as the main approach.


The focus remains on the restlessness and discomfort of living, and the hedgehog's dilemma.
