The Left Behind novels (about the so-called βRaptureβ in which all the born-agains ascend straight to heaven) are among the bestselling Christian books in the United States, describing in lurid detail the adventures of those βleft behindβ to battle the Anti-Christ. Put Bisson and the born-agains together, and what do you get? The Left Left Behindβa sardonic, merciless, tasteless, take-no-prisoners satire of the entire apocalyptic enterprise that spares no oneβpredatory preachers, goth lingerie, Pacifica Radio, Indian casinos, gangsta rap, and even βart carsβ at Burning Man.
Plus: βSpecial Relativity,β a one-act drama that answers the question: When Albert Einstein, Paul Robeson, and J. Edgar Hoover are raised from the dead at an anti-Bush rally, which one wears the dress? As with all Outspoken Author books, there is a deep interview and autobiography: at length, in-depth, no-holds-barred and all-bets off: an extended tour through the mind and work, the history and politics of our Outspoken Author. Surprises are promised.
