Devine Road: A Comedy of Sex, Politics, Religion And Other Impolite Topics of Conversation

by Gabriel Coeli

Devine Road is the gripping tale of an American soldier just arriving home, deeply affected, from the war in Iraq, when he is invited to an unworldly mountain by the mysterious Man in the Yellow Polo Shirt. The man, unbeknownst to the protagonist, has a plan: The extraordinary goings-on of the mountain and the deeds of its outlandish denizens will soon compel the young man to indelibly alter the course of humanity. Before he can claim his destiny, however, he must learn to learn again, he must learn to love again and, above all, he must learn to forgive without forgetting his transgressions and transgressors, and live for himself once more. A densely atmospheric, profoundly tragic, uproariously funny novel, undeniably epic in its scope, Devine Road is at once a compelling, genre-bending moral examination and a riotous journey across the frontiers of sex, satire, religion, language and love.
