Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"An insightful and drolly funny tale that skewers and celebrates contemporary American life." -San Francisco Chronicle"Mark Twain meets Jonathan Franzen in Mission to America, Walter Kirn's dark, funny road novel." -Maxim"Hilarious. . . . Kirn doesn't miss a chance to skewer consumerism, New Ageism, and ski-town magnates. The barbs are spot-on and the apostles, with their naivet? about everything from Cheetos and Wiccans to reality TV, are hopelessly endearing." -People"Kirn's fourth novel is his most ambitious. . . . A tour de force." -The New York Times Book Review"Thank goodness that Walter Kirn, one of the nation's best satirists, has made a funny, wise little novel. . . . A sly, tender, witty, probing of the nature of religious conviction." -The Plain Dealer

Reseña del editor:

Raised in the church of the Aboriginal Risen Apostles, a matriarchal, offbeat religious group located far from mainstream America in a remote Montana town, Mason La Verle embarks on an outreach mission in the hopes of attracting converts--and brides--to their fading sect, only to come face to face with the baffling absurdities of modern-day American life. Reprint. 20,000 first printing.
