James K. Morrow is a satirist with a keen eye for religious hypocrisy and a sharp wit to take the puff out of puffery. The Madonna and the Starship is set in the misnamed “Stone Age” of television when network children’s programming involved “cardboard sets, primitive special effects, and subsistence budgets.” Protagonist Kurt Jastrow writes the scripts for Brock Barton and His Rocket Rangers and performs in an educational sketch to end the show. His life takes a surreal turn when he is contacted by space “immense blue bipedal lobsters” who are committed logical positivists threatening to wipe out humanity unless he can convince them that the religious programming they have intercepted is satire, never meant to be taken seriously.
Kurt’s discussion with the lobsters takes a few sharp philosophical turns, as when one of them asks for a definition of ethics: “Nothing you need worry about,” I piped up … “almost everyone on our world thinks logical positivism is just as swell as secular humanism.” Uh-huh. As someone says near the end of the novel, “Positivism always goes better with popcorn.” Indeed, it does.
Morrow is often compared to Kurt Vonnegut, with whom he shares a sardonic sense of humor. That is a just comparison.

Suffers from that particularly male premillenial obsession with sex, and also the dated nature of nuclear apocalypse worries. How many conversations do I need a book’s protagonist to have with his cum? Precisely zero.

Enjoyable albeit lesser Morrow short novel. The classic images of the silent film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari form the background imagery of a story about the power of the visual arts to heal, or, in this case, perhaps harm. Caligari's mental sanitarium uses art therapy to address the fixations that Freud and Jung were also exploring, but his real goal is a art for a much darker purpose. Can he be stopped by the newly hired art therapist and the patients?

As always with Morrow, recommended, but don't expect the emotional depths of The Last Witchfinder or The City of Truth.… (meer)
