Description
Satirical magic-realism abounds in this modern myth narrated by Samson Grief, a reclusive painter living in Mount Russet, Prince Edward Island, Canada. While struggling with a creative block, he discovers a six-armed starfish, or as he calls it a Starfish of David, on his current work in progress. The problem is he has no memory of painting it. Soon Samson is confronted by three redheaded strangers who identify themselves as Judas, Shylock and Fagin, figments of his imagination and messengers sent by a genderless deity named the Supreme One. Having decreed the Middle East to be a hopeless mess, the Supreme One wants PEI to be the new Promised Land and tasks Samson with building the Island’s first synagogue to get the cosmic wheels rolling. Scared, confused and seriously doubting his sanity, Samson eventually, though grudgingly, accepts the challenge. To further complicate matters, Judas, Fagin and Shylock tell Samson the Supreme One wants him to build the synagogue on Rossiter’s Field, a garbage dump situated on the outskirts of Mount Russet. The Island’s Jewish community, from whom Samson hopes to find support, are scandalized by the choice. It is as if he has chosen Gehenna (the fiery garbage dump depicted in the Old Testament as the Jewish equivalent of hell) to be a proper place to build the temple. Rossiter's Field also happens to be the spot that entrepreneur and political hopeful, Reuben Arsenault has his eye on for a special project of his own. And so starts an unfolding of political intrigue as well as other obstacles Samson discovers along the way.
