Christian Matters is a neurotic twenty-nine year old architect living in Chicago, USA. After a bizarre episode throws him off his morning routine, he abandons his promising career, girlfriend and home for a life-changing journey to San Francisco, where he meets a cavalier aristocrat named Lester Rothschild and his beautifully extravagant love, fortepianist Ella Athens. Mysterious and insane, Lester takes Christian on his adventure to open Société, the most luxurious entertainment complex at the heart of the world's richest city. But, with the chance meeting of an unlikely visitor and the sudden death of a lover, colliding events lead Christian to unravel the true ambitions behind the greatly anticipated opening of Société, and discovers the fate of something much greater is at stake.
A powerful work of fiction that will enthrall millennials for years to come, Alexander Helas’ debut novel delivers a masterful, thought-provoking vision on the struggle of humanity’s bravest art, free will, at the hands of society’s quest for progress.
Contemporary artist and author of Société, (2015). Blood relative of the renowned Mexican writer, Juan Rulfo, he discovered a flair for language at an early age. He attained his Master's Degree in Systems Engineering at the University of Texas and currently lives in Boston, MA, working on multi-faceted art projects.
A humanist by heart, he enjoys single malt scotch, golden afternoons, and the occasional taste of unbridled easiness.
The voice found in his work resembles a blend of literary styles influenced by twentieth century greats; Huxley, Fitzgerald, Vonnegut and Keroac. Although he humbly denies it, and swears his work is often a product of educated ignorance and the whispers of dapper cocktail cats.
