Lord of Sunset by Parke Godwin6/7/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Ron Hubbard is incarnated as an answering machine Dorothy Parker ghost-writes the autobiography of a Tammy Bakker stand-in and prosecutor Abraham Lincoln, incognito here as Joshua Speed (and described as ``an ugly Henry Fonda''), calls Jesus as an expert witness. Godwin's tart humor resonates through his burgeoning cast of caricatures and celebrity walk-ons: a barely disguised L. The ensuing trial becomes a media event, a circus of demagoguery and a forum for Godwin's mouthpieces to argue that any intrusion of the church into affairs of state violates the freedoms granted by the American Constitution. ![]() Preacher Lance Candor throws a bomb at Coyul, whom many humans suppose to be the Devil. ![]() Elaborating on Galactic 's premise that intelligent life on Earth resulted from the caprices of two bored, alien schoolboys, Barion and Coyul, this sequel proposes an afterlife vaguely modeled on Christian visions of heaven and hell. Godwin follows his brash and brittle satire, Waiting for the Galactic Bus, with an all-out attack on evangelists. ![]()

Lost Prophet by John D'Emilio6/6/2023 ![]() ![]() Throughout, D’Emilio outlines his complicated relationship with his family while showing how his passion for activism influenced his decision to use research, writing, and teaching to build a strong LGBTQ movement.
