Nikos Kazantzakis, Report to Greco
Three Kinds of Souls, Three Prayers
1) I am a bow in your hands, Lord. Draw me, lest I rot.
2) Do not overdraw me, Lord. I shall break.
3) Overdraw me, Lord, and who cares if I break!
Kazantzakis is one of the most significant influences on my writing. Read his The Last Temptation of Christ, St. Francis and Report to Greco, one of the great confessionals of the last century.
