From the author of the "powerful, fable-like work" (Publishers
Weekly) Intimate Relations with Strangers comes a sci-fi mystery--and
a very dark comedy--about several, mostly white, men who are
systematically driven insane by a series of bizarre events.
A man wakes up in the woods one day with amnesia and is confronted by a
dominatrix who tells him they are on a mission from God. She takes him
to Atlanta, where he comes upon an unapologetically racist and sexist
book called The Total Emasculation of the White Man--which sets him
off on an even stranger quest. Another man, a college mathematics
professor turned stay-at-home dad, finds himself losing his mind when
his son's demonic teddy bear comes to life. Other men see even stranger
horrors, but all these seemingly unconnected stories are part of a grand
scheme that is either the work of a mischievous god or something even
weirder.
Blending elements of fantasy, mystery, science fiction and comedy, The
Total Emasculation of the White Man is a provocative exploration of
gender and race relations in America today.
