Book Description
Demitasse Chastity is a provocative story of a fertility nurse who decides to become an elective single mother, seeks a donor, but then takes the father in. A forbidden relationship between them is formed that must come to an end. The tale emphasizes the folly that causes people to enter intense unmanageable relationships exempt from pure reason, creating a precarious balance between what is feasible and what is not and what one desires and should avoid. The story exposes the gradual mental development of an alienated father from victim to victor and from inarticulate destitute to philosopher. It is a philosophical narrative essay on the confrontation of different attitudes. It serves as a refutation and refinement of human frailty to embellish the essence of being. At the same time, the work is a search for the hollowness of evil in a case of ontological disenfranchisement, parental abortion, and parental alienation. Both biological parents are intellectuals, able to contemplate their situation and make decisions for the child based on reason and emotions. The story deals with pride, plight, duty, feelings, justice, prejudice, trust, mistrust, and well-intended actions that are, in fact, basic human blunders. Simultaneously, education, abortion, patricide, human rights, children's rights, love, marriage, adultery, life, death, justice, psychoanalysis, and artificial reproduction are discussed. The text mentions in passing narcissism and psychopathy or sociopathy as well. The narrative, formed as a tidal wave composition as in music, in a cloud of coffee aroma, will pique the philosopher's interest. Still, it will also appeal to the general reader tempted to immerse themselves in a realistic story pertinent to our contemporary world, in which moral code and judicial interpretation typically fall behind. Parents and children who have experienced the anguish of alienation due to parental estrangement, or stolen identity in the context of artificial procreation or adoption, may find comfort in this work, as may anyone attempting to soften the blows of daily life. People interested in donating, adopting, or parenting in general, will discover the moral components they need in this book to make ethical decisions. Others may find amusement in the author's use of language and the sarcasm of despair to convey the underlying humor, even in dire circumstances.
