Sharp, funny, brilliantly-observed, it left me full of questions about the nature of sex, love, madness, academia, and belief. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

Two sociologists infiltrate a cult that pulls them into madness in this "barbed and richly entertaining" novel from a Pulitzer Prize-winning author (The Wall Street Journal). Once the nation's most popular sociologist, Tom McMann searches for a research subject that will invigorate his career. Unlike any study he's seen before, he targets the Truth Seekers, an up-and-coming cult that seeks flying saucers, utopian planets, and new spiritual plains. An irresistible mixture of New Age cranks and sci-fi nerds, they are ruled over by Verena, a beautiful young telepath who believes she has a hotline to another world. The Seekers are isolated, committed, and eccentric, but most importantly, they're hiring. Assisted by his wide-eyed young colleague, Roger Zimmern, McMann infiltrates the Truth Seekers, hoping to see how the zealots respond if questioned by someone within their midst. But when Verena's babblings start to make a little too much sense, the researchers must choose between losing their minds and buying one-way tickets to outer space. From the National Book Award-shortlisted author of Foreign Affairs, The War Between the Tates, and The Last Resort, this is a richly funny novel that will dazzle and entertain. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Alison Lurie including rare images from the author's collection. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
