Produktbeschreibung
Mormons and ex-Mormons, gay and straight, faithful and faithless. In these stories by the author of Mormon Underwear, we see Latter-day Saint women organize a sex boycott to force their husbands to grant them the priesthood. Activists dump the bodies of gay suicides on church doorsteps. A young man fakes his missionary service while living overseas. A devout woman reaches the top tier of heaven but discovers the afterlife isn't quite what she expected. A Mormon advice columnist needs advice of his own. Missionaries in Rome rescue a trafficked woman. And a young couple sell all their church-related books and artwork at a Going-Out-Of-Religion sale. Sometimes poignant, sometimes amusing, Johnny Townsend's stories look beyond crisp white shirts and freshly baked cookies to reveal the inner secrets of LDS culture.
Autorenporträt
A climate crisis immigrant who relocated from New Orleans to Seattle in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, Johnny Townsend wrote the first account of the UpStairs Lounge fire, an attack on a French Quarter gay bar which killed 32 people in 1973. He was an associate producer for the documentary Upstairs Inferno, for the sci-fi film Time Helmet, and for the deaf gay short Flirting, with Possibilities. His books include Please Evacuate, Brace for Impact, Orgy at the STD Clinic, and 10 Things to Do Before the Apocalypse.
