What We’re Reading

Allen Levi, Theo of Golden. Can a story of an old man who mysteriously enters a quaint Southern town begin to transform the town and its people for the better be a captivating read? Yes. Allen Levi’s Theo of Golden is a tale of do-good storytelling. An aged man from Portugal, who has been residing in New York City, enters a Southern town and begins to gift portraits from a café to the townsfolk, thereby bringing healing and new adventures to the various souls who populate Golden. It’s a simple premise and a captivating read simply because it is a story of goodness in a world so often besieged by chaos, darkness, and nihilism with a shocking but deeply meaningful plot twist for its resolution.
