Rent Messiah

Synopsis

The memories of Eugene Luther, who writes from Luxor, Egypt. The narrator is a heretic to a religion that looks upon life--and death--with such apathy that suicide has become the morally defining action. This religion flourished in an age where emotion reigned paramount to reason, where mysticism was valued above logical thought. Vidal has extrapolated to a supposed future the logical progression of New Age and religious fervor.
