    <![CDATA[<p>Danny Silverman's first novel reached #10 on the New York Times best-seller list, but that was 20 years ago. Now middle-aged, he and his partner, Martin, an African-American actor, are getting by on the residuals from Martin's cancelled TV cop series when Danny gets an offer he can't refuse: a speaking gig in a Minnesota bible college that will net him a small fortune. Why me? Silverman wonders, but he'll take the money and run. What can happen? Only a record-breaking snowstorm that traps him under the same roof as the evangelical Christian faculty who see this Jewish homosexual writer from San Francisco as the incarnation of the anti-Christ. Forced to defend all he believes in-sexual equality, human rights, same-sex marriage; dancing! vodka! coffee!-Silverman finds himself on the front lines of the culture wars dividing the nation today.</p><p>Best known as a social historian, Theodore Roszak is also the author of cult-status novels such as <em>Flicker</em>, a Hollywood horror satire, <em>and The Memoirs of Elizabeth Frankenstein</em>, a sensual retelling of the gothic classic. Now Roszak brings us a hilarious novel of politics and ideas in which the battle for the moral heart of America is waged between a college full of scripture-spouting fundamentalists and one gay humanist who thinks they're full of crap.</p><p><strong>Theodore Roszak </strong>lives in Berkeley, where he is a professor of history at California State University, Hayward. The author of 18 books, including the international bestseller <em>The Making of a Counter Culture</em>, he has twice been nominated for the National Book Award. His articles have appeared <em>in The New York Times, The Nation, The Atlantic Monthly</em>, and <em>Harper's</em>. <em>The Memoirs of Elizabeth Frankenstein </em>(Random House) received The James Tiptree Award for &quot;literature that expands our understanding of gender.&quot;</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<p>Danny Silverman's first novel reached #10 on the New York Times best-seller list, but that was 20 years ago. Now middle-aged, he and his partner, Martin, an African-American actor, are getting by on the residuals from Martin's cancelled TV cop series when Danny gets an offer he can't refuse: a speaking gig in a Minnesota bible college that will net him a small fortune. Why me? Silverman wonders, but he'll take the money and run. What can happen? Only a record-breaking snowstorm that traps him under the same roof as the evangelical Christian faculty who see this Jewish homosexual writer from San Francisco as the incarnation of the anti-Christ. Forced to defend all he believes in-sexual equality, human rights, same-sex marriage; dancing! vodka! coffee!-Silverman finds himself on the front lines of the culture wars dividing the nation today.</p><p>Best known as a social historian, Theodore Roszak is also the author of cult-status novels such as <em>Flicker</em>, a Hollywood horror satire, <em>and The Memoirs of Elizabeth Frankenstein</em>, a sensual retelling of the gothic classic. Now Roszak brings us a hilarious novel of politics and ideas in which the battle for the moral heart of America is waged between a college full of scripture-spouting fundamentalists and one gay humanist who thinks they're full of crap.</p><p><strong>Theodore Roszak </strong>lives in Berkeley, where he is a professor of history at California State University, Hayward. The author of 18 books, including the international bestseller <em>The Making of a Counter Culture</em>, he has twice been nominated for the National Book Award. His articles have appeared <em>in The New York Times, The Nation, The Atlantic Monthly</em>, and <em>Harper's</em>. <em>The Memoirs of Elizabeth Frankenstein </em>(Random House) received The James Tiptree Award for &quot;literature that expands our understanding of gender.&quot;</p>]]>
