Perhaps the most striking thing about The Abundant Life is the multifarious modes used to advance the novel's plot and add substance and depth to the main character, Alex Wolf. This kind of of literary pastiche is always a gamble, but it pays off in spades for Jacobs. In the end, it seems/sounds like a chorus of competing and/or complementary voices, each adding a unique dimension to a narrative that tells a compelling, relevant, and at times hilarious, story. This book is the real deal and Jacobs is here to stay, it would seem. If you like literature and love satire, this one is for you. ( ) The Abundant Life is a funny, charming look at a family falling apart, and the desperate measures they are willing to go to try to keep their lives together. We meet some charismatic but possibly sinister characters as it delves into a fascinating world of evangelical hucksterism. At moments cynical, at moments sweet, it's enthralling from start to finish. Prepare to look like a weirdo as you laugh out loud reading it in public. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Things are not going well for Alexander Wolf. At thirty years old, he leaves behind federal prison for a more confining environment: his childhood home. There, Alex must rely on his family. The only problem is their situation is more dire than his. In a fit of desperation, Alex concocts an outlandish rescue plan for his Jewish family: marketing products to fundamentalist Christians, a prospect that attracts the mysterious Reverend Warren Holden. As Alex and his family put their financial house in order, they are dragged deeper and deeper into Holden¿s bizarre world, leading them from suburban New York to the Mojave Desert, where they finally learn that not all cons are about money.
