Sinopse

• Martin Riker spent years at Dalkey Archive before founding Dorothy, a Publishing Project with his wife Danielle Dutton and has deep connections in the literary world and with booksellers. 
• The novel has an old-fashioned grace to it, taking a straightforward format and a humane, gentle tone, but the questions it asks are pressing: how do we use technology to avoid each other? What does it mean to engage with one’s life? In a fragmented cultural landscape, how can we find shared ground?
• “How to be a person” is a question CHP’s fiction has addressed again and again, and Riker’s novel takes this on with aplomb, but without the pitch of anxiety or destabilizing absurdity of some of our more experimental books. 
• Riker is a frequent reviewer for the New York Times (most recently the very well-received Solar Bones), which gives context to this, his first book, and should also increase his coverage in the media.

    This sassy memoir by a party girl with a broken heart takes an irreverent look at religious teachings that made her an easy victim of a love gone wrong. And in telling her story, she shows how the right hijacked Jesus—and gives moderates and progressives of all faiths and of no faith a recipe for taking back God, flag and country. 
    Here are revelations, Kate Rice style. For example, the Apostle Paul says (in ancient Greek), shit happens. (Corinthians 6; 1-13). Also, Bible wasn’t written in English. It was written Aramaic, Hebrew and ancient Greek. A literal interpretation of the Bible is impossible. 
    She introduces the tatted up minister who preaches the joy of sex, church-going progressives standing strong in a rural America that is not as red as you think, and believers and non-believers who work together! 
    This battle-scarred veteran of three different religions explains our nation’s wrestling match with religion, politics, and sex by viewing it through the prism of her own struggles. She pokes fun at hypocrites but shows love and respect for true people of faith. And then she gives us all a pep talk about what we can do to keep our nation one that guarantees freedom for all.

    After John Carter's arrival, a boat of Green Martians on the River Iss are ambushed by the previously unknown Plant Men. The lone survivor is his friend Tars Tarkas, the Jeddak of Thark, who has taken the pilgrimage to the Valley Dor to find Carter. Having saved their own lives, Carter and Tars Tarkas discover that the Therns, a white-skinned race of self-proclaimed gods, have for eons deceived the Barsoomians elsewhere by disseminating that the pilgrimage to the Valley Dor is a journey to paradise. Most arrivals are killed by the beasts of Valley, and the survivors enslaved by Therns. (Summary by Wikipedia)
