Beschreibung

<p><b>Originally published in 1969 and now back in print after over a decade, Robert Coover's first novel instantly established his mastery.</b></p><p>A coal-mine explosion in a small mid-American town claims ninety-seven lives. The only survivor, a lapsed Catholic given to mysterious visions, is adopted as a doomsday prophet by a group of small-town mystics. "Exposed" by the town newspaper editor, the cult gains international notoriety and its ranks swell. As its members gather on the Mount of Redemption to await the apocalypse, Robert Coover lays bare the madness of religious frenzy and the sometimes greater madness of "normal" citizens.</p><p><i>The Origin of the Brunists</i> is vintage Coover—comic, fearless, incisive, and brilliantly executed.</p>
