Finalist - 2006 Project QueerLit Contest
In a post-apocalyptic America, 17 year old Joshua My Hero lives out a humdrum existence, struggling to find truth and sense in a Christian-fundamentalist trailer park. But his psychic powers and sexual tastes leave him an outsider of his community, and forced to commit patricide in a final and desperate struggle for self-defence against his father's rage, Joshua escapes into a wasted planet, armed only with an oracular penis, the patronage of an ancient earth spirit sent to rid the planet of all of its ills, and the wisdom of the Tao Teh Ching...
"I really love this book. Tristram Burden's first novel is a Jungian tale that combines mythology, science fiction, and eroticism to create a brilliant hybrid unlike anything I've read before. Original, exciting, and transcendant. A bloody great read! Very unique." —Douglas Ferguson author of The Forgotten Ones
