Very, very, very strange. Very, very, very good.

This book is about a medical researcher who works for a drug manufacturer. He's divorced and pretty much disconnected from his feelings and life. He's an athiest and a lapsed Catholic. His company torments little animals to make cosmetics and vanity drugs.Boom. Our hero gets hit with a case of mediaeval "stigmata", actual wounds where Christ got, shall we say, nailed...and shafted.The visitation is accompanied with an experience that you crazy kids would call "trippy" to say the least. And, guy becomes a marked man especially as regards his friendly local Catlick bishop because he's, to say the least, a disruptive influence.If you liked the film Jesus of Montreal you are going to be blown away by this one. Both are based on the idea that Western, industrial society might be "the abode of demons, and every unclean bird" which worships money and power to the point of idolatry. Both ask the hard question of the word become flesh, the hard answer is it already has and just has asked you for a quarter.Both are great texts for Anguished Youth who are anguished and wear black because they have to live on earth, and must "grow up" to do wrong and extinguish the light.This isn't "religious fiction" which is a species of pornography. It's very different.
