Más información sobre el libro

Exploring the psyche of a troubled Catholic priest, this dramatic monologue delves into Father Tony's justifications for his inappropriate relationships with teenage boys. Set against the backdrop of a dysfunctional New Orleans Italian family and the Church's political landscape, the narrative reflects on his life from 1970 to 1995. As he grapples with his identity and the implications of his actions, the novel critiques the hypocrisy within the Church while presenting a complex, charming narrator. The author's insights into parochial education and foreshadowing enhance the unsettling yet engaging story.
