Man Walking in Fields

Who is
Marlo Binkman?

Well... For now let's just say that Marlo is the unwitting hero of his own story. 

Gospel of a Heathen

A Journey to the Center of the Soul 

Genre: Anecdotal fiction, semi-autobiographical

​

Abstract:  Absurdity humor critiquing the follies of life and failings of humanity, as told first-person through the eyes of protagonist Marlo Binkman, a middle-aged divorced father of three.  

 

Over the arc of half a lifetime (to be generous) Binkman has overcome immense personal pain and suicidal depression on his journey to enlightenment and self rediscovery.  

 

As a product of Generation X, Marlo attempts to make sense of all the factors leading up to this point in history by reconciling his own personal philosophies on life against the conventional wisdom of a world he no longer understands.

​

A journey to the center of the American Soul in the age of bat-shit crazy, Gospel of a Heathen is an airplane read (250-300 pages) heavily influenced by the likes of literary greats such as Hunter Thompson, Kurt Vonnegut, Earnest Hemingway and Jack Kerouac. 

 

The narrative also includes subtle elements of irreverence, farce and crude vulgarity akin to the comedic stylings of National Lampoon and Monty Python.  

 

Key Takeaway: Life is a lark, so let’s enjoy ourselves along the way.

"When the heart bleeds alone, it's the goodwill
of others that mends the wound."
