The Fruit of Death is an homage of sorts to S ren Kierkegaard and to his character-author Johannes Climacus who, as St. John of the Sinai Monastery, left us a book called Climax, that is, The Ladder. Made up of forty fragments which interrogate the oddity and perversity of human desire, this work should also be read as a kind of ladder, a climax that takes a bit longer, not because it ascends higher than the climax of Climacus, but because it begins lower, much lower, in the subterranean regions of the soul.
