It does sound like a great book.
None of my libraries at present have it, and my mother has forbidden me to
buy more books as long as I live here, wink, smile.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] American Savior, by Roland Merullo
A member is *really* anxious to read American Savior: a Novel of Divine
Politics by Roland Merullo. When he requested it, I think last week, the
reviews were such and the topicality such that I thought it would be on
the NY Times bestseller list and that bookshare would process it, but it's
not on the list yet.
It sounds very funny--good satire. I don't know, though, if some of you
might be offended. Jesus returns to earth to run as a third-party
candidate for the presidency of the U.S. hoping to save the country.
Catholics, Jews and atheists unite to help him. There are "takedowns of
thinly veiled political journalists: there's loud-mouthed, insult-spewing
Anne Canter and Bulf Spritzer, a decent guy [who] can never quite convince
the viewer that he isn't ecstatic about being in the limelight." I didn't
want to quote the whole PW review because we aren't supposed to.
