"Winner, American Book Award" and "A Washington Post Book World Best Book" I had become obsessed with infomercials, especially self-help gurus like Anthony Robbins so my third novel tells the story of a black surfer motivational speaker at the very height of his career. Then one day he smokes some mysterious weed and some expired cough syrup and has a vision. He decides to turn his business into a cult based around the Brazilian term "Axe," or power. Soon he has dozens of disciples bunking with him in his mansion and he takes turns teaching the female devotees the ins and outs of tantric sex. |
