Faith

"Helene, death metal grandmother, inflamed Heaven for eternity with her undying faith". Vincent Blenet aka "Archimandrite Tenebreux" has just lost his grandmother, Helene, for whom he felt a lot of respect and admiration. He remembers her having a lunch with Dita von Teese and Ozzy Osbourne or going to concerts in the company of Marilyn Manson and Johnny Depp. This book is dedicated to her. "If they think an artist can destroy their faith, then their faith is rather fragile" replies the singer Marilyn Manson to those who criticise his music. Marilyn Manson, just like the author, likes to question the society about what it believes and make it face its paradoxes. We realize through this book that all Marilyn Manson's provocations are only made in order to defy the society and to make himself yet more hated by people who already hate him. The makeup and various bravados displayed by the singer, in fact, are just a mask, and behind it we find a respectable man, attentive towards his neighbour. "Faith" is a pamphlet against all those who endlessly stigmatize and attack people who are different, making them feel guilty about exactly what makes them so different.
