**What happens when an ordinary man becomes a messiah? A witty, prescient and eloquent satire by one of New Zealand's finest writers.******Far into the twenty-first century, Albous Slaven's life is spectacularly and irrevocably altered after he hangs for an instant from a power line.

Is he a Messiah, a political saviour, or an idealist who conjures up forces he can neither understand nor control?Shortlisted for the Montana Book Award for Fiction and described by Vincent O'Sullivan as Delightfully sardonic; philosophically mischievous', this novel deftly and disconcertingly explores its characters' lives in this lyrical picture of New Zealand.The world's multiplicity is splendidly...
