At several times in my life, I started several novels and scripts but never finished them because I lacked inspiration and commitment. But this time, it was different. I wrote DEAR GOSEI during the pandemic. I was isolated at home, like everyone else. I got anxious and felt awkward due to the lack of social contact so I started writing as a form of liberation, and inspiration came to me.
The novel brings a fresh perspective on coming of age and accepting sexuality, but it is far from the typical coming-out-of-the-closet book. It has a lot more to do with a human being fighting to know the truth about his past and trying to understand convoluted family dynamics distorted by religion and social rules. It is a tough, edgy topic, treated with empathy and sensitivity.
