He never showed much of a reaction to the death of his mother, and his behaviour of late has been getting more and more bizarre. And yet, his website -- Emerso.com -- has made him something of a cult figure to followers who believe that, if not having all the right answers, "Emerso" at least has all the right questions. Shoulder the Sky is a rarity among young adult novels -- it challenges the reader with philosophical thought and complex observations. |
