They've been cataloged, sermonized, painted, and tattooed. They've haunted cathedrals, pulpits, and our private thoughts for centuries. Yet they are still here. Still finding us, still speaking, still waiting for us to notice.
These essays listen. They follow desire, appetite, ambition, anger, envy, inertia, and self-regard through the hidden spaces of modern life, from the quiet of a bedroom to the buzz of a late-night street. They don't condemn. They don't offer easy answers. They witness.
From the fever of lust to the weight of pride, these pages trace the sins we recognize-and the ones we don't want to admit. Footnotes murmur like echoes in a back pew: history, philosophy, confession, and reflection drifting through each essay like smoke.
Here is a book that sees you, unsettles you, and, if you're willing, lets a little grace slip through the cracks. Read it slowly, or out of order, or late at night. You will leave changed-but not necessarily lighter.
