THE LEAF BLOWER

af Jeff Weston
THE LEAF BLOWER af Jeff Weston
Bag om THE LEAF BLOWER

A 20th century god, Arnold Debrito (anno Domini), pitched against man's random, pathological violence and love of stock markets. History all around him - the assassination of Alexander II (1881), Jews fleeing to America and Palestine (lessening their passivity; no longer waiting for a messianic solution), the Russian Revolution (1917), the electrocution of Nicola Sacco & Bartolomeo Vanzetti (1927), and the hanging of Ken Saro-Wiwa (1995). The Leaf Blower is about growing up in the 1970s and 80s, suddenly seeing things differently, and wondering what went before. It is a beautiful battle of minds: obedience and faith versus something better. With accompanying dread, but then huge forbearance, Arnold takes on his role as humanity's 'deliverance'. But will he fly or fall?
