The Sparrow: A Desecration of Faith | A Horrifying Twist
The Sparrow is a 1996 science fiction novel written by Mary Doria Russell. It takes its name from this Bible verse. In the Christian worldview, nothing happens in either heaven nor earth without God’s knowledge, even the seemingly innocuous action of a sparrow falling to the ground. Ostensibly it is the story of Earth’s first contact with alien life, but it is far more than that. This is a science fiction novel that explores themes surrounding spiritualism, religion, and faith, as well as the idea that evil actions can be and often are initially undertaken with benign and or even benevolent intentions. Sometimes a well-meaning purpose may lead to unexpected or even devastating results. And most of the time when events like this occur, upon reviewing the facts of the case it turns out it could have been avoidable had more caution and thought been employed. The opening lines of the book sum this up perfectly:
“It was predictable, in hindsight.“
The Sparrow is one of the most disturbing books that I’ve read in recent memory for its depiction of the desecration of both spirit and body. Now if you have not read The Sparrow and spoilers are something you care about then you might want to stop this video soon. The twist in this book turned my stomach, it made me jittery and anxious, as it was truly one of the most uncomfortable and disturbing sections of a book that I’ve read in a long time. If you like these kinds of stories, philosophical slow science fiction stories that take their time releasing their secrets, and if you like unveiling the mysteries and horrors for yourself, then use the Amazon affiliate link in the description and get the book first! If you don’t mind spoilers, then continue forward!
