Will Sargent reviewed A Handbook of American Prayer by Lucius Shepard
Review of 'A Handbook of American Prayer' on 'Storygraph'
5 stars
This book feels like something Bill Hicks would write, with its veiny back-America -- the malls, the ex-cons, the rusted automobile wrecks, and the television showing a world that tells you that your world isn't real. And then, a prayer that isn't a prayer results in a man showing up who is either a deluded fan, or something outside of reality.
This book haunted me for weeks afterwards.
