About this ebook
This comic novel is “[a] whimsical fable of contemporary culture shock. . . . Tautly written with a zest for the absurd and the unpredictable” (The New York Times Book Review).
As a boy, he was Samson Hunts Alone—until a deadly misunderstanding with the law forced him to flee the Crow reservation at age fifteen. Today he is Samuel Hunter, a successful Santa Barbara insurance salesman with a Mercedes, a condo, and a hollow, invented life. Then one day, destiny offers him the dangerous gift of love—in the exquisite form of Calliope Kincaid—and a curse in the unheralded appearance of an ancient god by the name of Coyote. Coyote, the trickster, has arrived to reawaken the mystical storyteller within Sam . . . and to seriously screw up his existence in the process.
“Downright laugh-out-loud, can’t-put-the-book-down funny.” —The Philadelphia Inquirer
“At once irreverent, spiritual, and wonderfully fresh in approach.” —Library Journal
“Effectively mixing the mythic and the modern, Moore intersperses contemporary trickster tales with the comic saga of Sam’s evolution.” —Booklist
“Funny and entertaining.” —Publishers Weekly

Chris Moore has written another amazing tale. I had read Sacre Blue and had been dissapointed I then read The stupidest Angel and was again a big fan so I grabbed the last unread Moore novel and this was unbelievable I am in a deep depression as I come to the realization that I have read All of his books there is nothing to look forward to in my literary pursuits. I Have read literally hundreds and hundreds of novels and only Albert Payson Terhune stands higher in my mind than Chris Moore is pure Genius
