Beschreibung:
Not the rhymes of a Rhodes scholar but a lumpen proletariat that's done 30 years hard time in the world's biggest single logging division.Contract faller death statistics in British Columbia woods exceeded those of US troops in Viet Nam. Few tree fellers survive to retire at 65.
Poetry style emulates Robbie Burns & Robert Service & if it knocked Moslems as much as it mocks Christian fundamentalism, a fatwah would be declared against the author.
Salman Rushdie's book "Satanic Verses" put a million dollar price on his head but sold a few more books then.
Sacred cows are not spared in this book & a few centuries earlier it would have been classed heresy, warranting a stake burning.
Writers aim at controversy to sell but since popes no longer wield absolute power, they send authors to Coventry obscurity.
