John the Revelator

By T.J. Beitelman

"Every prophet needs a home where they can hate him," says the black buzzard of the title character's nightmares. Part reluctant Tiresias, part locusts-and-honey outcast, teenaged John stumbles into the darker thickets of human insight-the high arts of vice and violence-and the small Alabama town he calls home will never be the same when he comes out the other side. TJ Beitelman has studied creative writing at Virginia Tech and at the University of Alabama, where he edited Black Warrior Review. He lives in Birmingham, Alabama, and teaches writing at the Alabama School of Fine Arts.
