The Ministry of Love is a literary nonfiction memoir that follows the author's process of individualization. Using a narrative design, the author recounts his religious upbringing, his family dynamics, his dreams, and his failed attempts at winning the affection of his first love. The author uses these small events as a foray into meditations on the spiritual, the carnal, the physiological and the psychological transitions he experienced as an adolescent. The Ministry of Love achieves a narrative dreamscape as the author intertwines memory, illusion, and fantasy to capture the author's consciousness.
