"A surreal voyage of the damned, an inverse morality tale about the impossibility of redemption. . . echoes back to the myth-laden seafaring tales of Conrad and Melville."--People magazine.

Richard's style is as excitingly unique as it is accessible."--The Virginian-Pilot. + HOUSE OF PRAYER NO. 2, a bright & unread ARC, gratis galley.
