Religion
a novel by Bob Jakubovic
ISBN: 0-9720287-0-6
List Price: $14.00 Web Special: $9.75
Cult writer and famous recluse Felix Sladkey has just mailed
off the final scrap of writing that will conclude his latest
masterpiece—the one which thousands of fans have been awaiting
for years.
Through an intricate system designed to keep Sladkey’s whereabouts
secret, the scrap eventually reaches Aaron the typist. Knowing
Sladkey will not protest out of fear of giving up his reclusion,
Aaron concludes the novel on his own, thus setting the stage for a cast of characters that include:
- Vlad the Russian bartender, whose reading of Cindy
and Her Best Friend’s Dad (the porn classic written
by Sladkey’s alter ego, Tom Smith) sends him to a tragic
end and sends Father Kurtz of Our Sorrowful Lady of Saint
Peter In Chains to confess to Smith;
- Agent Antonio Ficino (aka Anthony Fisher), who
hires a hack writer to pose as Sladkey on a national tour
that will make a rock star out of both of them;
- Owen Pepper, Aaron’s neighbor who holds a bag of Sladkey
scraps for ransom;
- and private dick Hugh Langston, in whose hands the fate
of all future Sladkey novels resides.
With Whole New Religion, Jakubovic takes aim at the
literary industry with a novel that is as playful as it is
deadpan, and as stylistically familiar as it is without parallel.
Bob Jakubovic lives in Ohio and is currently working on
his dissertation at the University of Cincinnati. Whole
New Religion is his first novel.
