Book Overview
MATHIAS TRUE IS REVEREND AMERICA CALLING YOU BACK TO THE HOLY MUSIC OF LIFE It Is True! LOVE IS YOUR ONLY REDEEMER! Rocky is the road. Weary is the way. Lay your burden down COME BE HEALED BY THIS GLORIOUS WHITE KNIGHT!
Mathias is better known as Casper, an ALBINO PREACHER who had heal- ing ways in his youth. Back in his hometown of Joplin, Missouri seeking rest from years of hurt, Casper soon finds himself with the pregnant teenage pros- titute Angelike outrunning their pasts on the GREAT ROAD south. Dangers follow them, characters as crazed and colorful as America's own HISTORY greet them, and Casper finds himself on the unexpected road to SALVATION.
Singing in a space between Flannery O'Connor and Carl Hiaasen, Reverend America mixes the old with the new. A kicking and spitting true-to-life tale that is Saknussemm's most heart-rending to date.
"Dangerous, hilarious, wildly imagined, weird as a carnival midway, and real and tragic as blues harmonica. Reverend America is blisteringly good."
-JANET FITCH, author of White Oleander (Oprah Book Club Pick)
"Reverend America is an impressive virtuoso comic tour de force, yet within the same remarkable novel is the sad and moving story of a world that moment by moment is losing itself."
-JONATHAN BAUMBACH, author of B: A Novel
"Saknussemm is a rare visionary of American culture, a fearless artist with his very own skew on the western world. Reverend America is brilliant!"
-JONATHAN EVISON, New York Times best-selling author of West of Here
