From one of our most highly praised and prodigiously imaginative young writers, this is a dazzling and entertaining mashup of comedy and horror, magical realism and existential mystery, aimed at readers of smart, engaged, imaginative fiction from Jonathan Lethem to Junot Diaz.
Written like"Garcia Marquez mixed with Edgar Allan Poe"(Mos Def) this is the story of Ricky Rice--middling hustler, recovering dope fiend, and traumatized survivor of a suicide cult--who is inducted into a mysterious cabal of investigators searching through the chaos of contemporary America for the literal voice of God. A jam-packed adventure featuring a religious war, homeless uprisings, ghostly monsters beneath the San Francisco Bay, and a possibly pregnant man, this is ultimately the story of the great struggle between doubt and faith that rages within us all.
