Reseña del editor:

The satirical novel takes place in the fictional Free Nation where Bob, a middle-aged blank slate, is visited by God and ordered to take dictation for a new book. God then orders Bob to go into the world and be his P.R. person. A large cast of quirky characters includes Bob's followers, the devious chameleon Roland Brand, and the clueless Chosen Leader Delbert Thorne. The morality play laces serious cultural issues with alternately broad and subtle humor.

Biografía del autor:

Paul Chasman has been a professional guitarist, teacher, and composer his entire adult life. He recorded his first album in 1979, and now has a dozen full-length releases in his name. In May 2003, following the United States' invasion of Iraq, Chasman wrote a letter to President George W. Bush telling him he liked the Dixie Chics and suggested he check them out. He signed the letter, “Carl Estrada.” The next day, Carl wrote another letter to President Bush giving him the heads-up that his American flag lapel pin was crooked. So began a year-and-a-half of daily letter writing during which Carl Estrada, Brad Cahoon, and a cast of characters wrote “letters of advice and constructive criticisim to the famous, the infamous, and the 'current administration.'" Chasman set up a web site: www.thecarlletters.com on which he posted his letters and subsequent replies. During the 2004 American presidential elections, Chasman put his guitars in the closet to devote his full time to the Carl Letters and other political activities. The day after the elections, Paul Chasman began writing The Book of Bob.
