Inhaltsangabe
Both hilarious and somber, this novel is many things — a whodunnit, an exploration of pro and con views on feminism, sexism, Biblical literalism, verbal contradictions, plus a religious and political allegory in an 1860 monastery.
R. Gerber is a lawyer and judge.
“A comic gem. Turnip, a narcissist who fantasizes he
may be deity and is inexplicitly proposed for sainthood. The
disputation for and against him is awash with delightful
scatological biblical re-imaginations and humorous historical,
literary and operatic allusions, and a colossal teasing of the
religiosity of Turnip’s gullible acolytes.”
Jack Bray, Attorney
“Need to smile, chortle, laugh, guffaw? This may be the novel for you. It is a playful, erudite, silly, serious, a well-crafted historical and hysterical allegory in the mode of Animal Farm. The endless stream of linguistic, biblical, literary, Roman Catholic and contemporary political allusions will make your head spin and your face grin. Try it, you’ll like it.”
Thomas Tobin, Clinical Psychologist
“This lawyer-judge-author offers a sarcastic gift, wrapping the current American lawless kakistrocracy in Jesuit formation, Roman Catholic and literary history, to unwrap Trumpian displays of poisonous “isms” of all kinds in the fictitious and satirical person of the Very Reverend Father Rector Magnificus Adolphus Maximilien Turnip SJ. It might be fictitious, friends, and it is comical at times, but it is real life and real sad. Read it and laugh one minute and weep in the next.”
Sheila Bader, Attorney
“This delightful novel is outrageously funny and is far more than a simple and amusing fiction story. Correspondents officiously discuss the orthodoxy and sanity of the main character, Reverend Father Adolphus Maximilien Turnip, SJ, for consideration for sainthood. The Reverend Father is certainly unlike any real Jesuit person, and embodies the very pinnacle of narcissism.”
Arthur L. Riley, M.D.
