conversations.value: 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 , the authors dark, funny road novel. Maxim "Hilarious.... the author 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 "the author's fourth novel is his most ambitious.... A tour de force." The New York Times Book Review Thank goodness that the author, one of the nations best satirists, has made a funny, wise little novel.... A sly, tender, witty, probing of the nature of religious conviction. The Plain Dealer
