John Steinbeck's "East Of Eden" is a must-read for everyone. It's an extraordinarily deep book, talking on truth, honesty, openness, three different re-tellings of the Cain & Abel story, forgiveness, sociopathy and more.

If anyone wants re-tellings of sister-sister relationships, instead of Cain & Abel, see what dubbed or subtitled German movies you can get that were directed by Margarethe von Trotta. Always powerful, sometimes mildly horrific.

Good points of Margarethe von Trotta's works:

— usually no simplisticness
— deep empathy
Bad points:
— von Trotta bought Baader-Meinhof agitprop lies holus-bolus, especially on Gudrun Ensslin ('Marianne')
— occasional simplisticness

East Of Eden's Gate, by Billy Thorpe, via @lesmothian:
On a world that is waiting,
Lighting up the broken stones of time;
It stretches like a shattered road to Eden,
Where love is standing flashing like a sign
