Resolution 786: A Novel in Three Acts Telling Cuneiform Tales of Love and War and God and Lust and Loss (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780595709618)

Resolution 786 is a timely and intellectually provocative work about God, love, and war. Adam Hueghlomm, the product of a mixed marriage, was raised as both a Muslim and a Jew. Hueghlomm's fate unfolds through his childhood in Africa, his life as an adult in America, and his experiences during the Iraq War. Using the twenty-first century's first war as a backdrop, Hueghlomm simultaneously participates in the twenty-second century's most celebrated trial, a thought-provoking courtroom confrontation which charges the Lord with crimes against humanity. From the fields of Nairobi to America's western canyons, to the streets and alleys of Baghdad, this story is told through a series of brilliantly interwoven vignettes that include traditional narrative, e-mail messages, poems, an obituary, a letter to the United Nations Commission for Human Rights, and a five-count indictment of the Lord. Thoughtful, challenging, and smart, Resolution 786 weaves the black humor of Vonnegut through a tapestry of Kafkaesque imagery to create a vision of one man's troubled relationship with God.
