If you asked me what this story is "about," I would be hard pressed to give a short answer. I suppose it's about relationships, first and foremost. Familial, spiritual, friendly relationships. And it's about the historical intricacies of the Pyrenees region and the variegated religious psychogeography of the region. It's about place and hope and faith. It is many things. Some of them for which I don't have words.

This is like J.K. Huysmans for the Pyrenees mountains. Lush. Decadent. And yet, rustic.

Hugo's story reads like an encyclopedia of the heretical. The historical nuances of religion in the mountains will make your head spin. One important lesson is that the history of religion, especially in the montagne regions, is anything but simple. Doctrinal and ritual lines are a complex arrangement formed by historical circumstance, personal and group preferences, and (gasp!) aleatory forces lacking reason(s).

What a powerful beginning! Locker has set up a situation balanced on the knife's edge where an end for one is a beginning for many, yet I feel that we might later loop back into this initial end. But will it be to a sense of finality or eternal doors opening? It could go either way as it stands now and being on the lip of that precipice is delicious. And we've only just begun.
