Jeremiah 8

Meer over het boek

A disenfranchised white mans maniacal obsession with becoming a Master of the Universe in New York City in the 1960s. What one is not prepared for is the power and vast scope of this first following Jeremiah Francis Scanlon (fat, balding, and 39) throughout New York City, Carol Hill has gotten down the madness of our times racism, obsessions with money, sex and power, loss of contact with the past and given us a vision of the future that is at once a desperate comedy and a harrowing rehearsal of the apocalypse.Robert Gross, Newsweek You should buy Carol Hills extraordinary book... simply as a novel of character, Jeremiah 8:20 works superbly... if you cant identify with Jeremiah Francis Scanlon you probably cant identify with yourself. This remarkable novel moves from the particular to the prophetic, from man to myth.John Leonard, New York Times
