This is a book about faith and religions
It is wild and hilarious. I didn't expect this when I put the name of the book down. didn't have a clue what it would be about. I thought it was a short story collection. I really should read book blurbs more often.
or maybe not. it was such a surprise.
I love books about obsessed man with hopeless missions. I love absurd and wild humor. you can suggest any topic of discussion to me with those ingredients.

A collection of characters - lead by Hazel Motes - try to find their way in this world, find what's right and wrong, what is sin and what will bring salvation.
Hazel Motes is a man of ideals. He is part Holden Caulfield, part bowe bergdahl, part any Kafka hero.

I won't add much more, but at the core - this book is about faith. it looks at it from all directions. organized religion, obsession, empty faith, spiritual faith, icons and plenty more
