Welcome to Litsy!

An allegorical story where the main character is an "everyman", but not in the usual sense -- he is more of a composite of all the people, speaking for the oppressed, more like a Greek chorus: "I built his house, I planted his crops, I built his factories". Matigari travels the land asking stereotypical figures "where can a man find truth and justice?"

Once used to the format, the ritual phrasing and repetition, I grew to like the story a lot
