Sweet Heaven When I Die: Faith, Faithlessness, and the Country in Between

By Jeff Sharlet and J. Sharlet

Book Overview

"A master investigative stylist and one of the shrewdest commentators on religion's underexplored realms."--Michael Washburn, Washington Post In this gorgeous collection of essays that has drawn comparisons to the work of Joan Didion, John McPhee, and Norman Mailer, best-selling author Jeff Sharlet reports back from the far reaches of belief, whether in the clear mountain air of "Sweet Fuck All, Colorado" or in a midnight congregation of anarchists celebrating a victory over police. Like movements in a complex piece of music, Sharlet's dispatches vibrate with all the madness and beauty, the melancholy and aspirations for transcendence, of American life.
