ALLAN APPEL
In
his hilarious follow-up to High Holiday Sutra,
Allan Appel takes another irreverent view of religious
manners, this time examining what we mean by faith and
marriage in twentieth-century America. In Club Revelation,
three interfaith Jewish / Christian couples unwittingly
rent the ground floor of their brownstone to a charming,
young Southern evangelist. Serving up his own blend
of Christian cuisine, he opens a restaurant in the space,
hoping to convert the Jews of the Upper West Side. His
scheme threatens to destroy the harmony of the building
when one of his six landlords finds comfort - and much
more - in the preacher's conversion-by-gastronomy methods.
Appel's
adroit mix of comedy and theology conjoin effortlessly
in a fast, funny, and wholly entertaining story for
anyone who has ever gone to church, attended synagogue,
or dined at a restaurant - but never all at once.
