An epic look at the duality of man and the accomplishments that derive from the basics and forever changing aspects of society. In the sense of the Sphinx built by the Egyptians, society must conform to the waves of time that spiral downward in the abyss known as life. The Truth is a work that defines the genre of previously established written word. Murillo establishes himself as an everyman, a basic observer in a complicated entanglement of emotions and feelings. Much like Pies or Ogres of fairy-tale lore derived from basic society, the book has layers that can only be observed when sniffed out. Murillo's Colombian heritage plays an important part in the transition of society and the basic change. Here, we see Murillo's transition into the concept of the nuclear family, the yearning to be an ideal husband, and the art of soccer in America. Much like the work of Chuck Palahniuk, The Truth: What Else Could the Mendicant Think if Always the Same Coin explores the darkness of life as well as the beauty that resides in such darkness. This book will forever change the way you think about life, love, and dancing.
