Banks has skillfully used his repertoire of contemporary techniques to write a novel that is classically Americana dark, but sometimes funny, romance with echoes of Poe and Melville. Washington Post'A marvelously written little book, fascinatingly intricate, yet deceptively simple. Well worth reading more than once.' New York Times Book ReviewFrom acclaimed author Russell Banks comes a work of fiction utilizing a form invented in the seventeenth century by imprisoned Puritan divinesDesigned to be exemplary, works of this type were aimed at brethren outside the prison walls and functioned primarily as figurative dramatizations of the tests of faith all true believers must endure. These relations, framed by scripture and by a sermon explicating the text, were usually read aloud in weekly or monthly installments during religious services. Utterly sincere and detailed recountings of suffering, they were nonetheless highly artificial. To use the form selfconsciously, as Banks has done, is not to parody it so much as to argue goodhumoredly with the mind it embodies, to explore and, if possible, to map the limits of that mind, the more intelligently to love it.
