Mission to America

by Walter Kirn

Mission to America

by Walter Kirn

Mason LaVerle, raised in a reclusive Montanan sect, sets out on a crucial journey to reinvigorate the church of the Aboriginal Fulfilled Apostles by seeking converts. Tasked with bringing back prospective brides, Mason's faith-driven quest plunges him into the heart of America's consumerist culture. Amidst malls and fast food, he grapples with the bustling lifestyle and the enticements it offers. Juxtaposed against his partner's peculiar spiritual advisory to a billionaire and the homeland's internal strife, Mason teeters on the edge of his religious zeal. Walter Kirn's 'Mission to America' casts a spotlight on a young man navigating the complexities of belief and nationhood in a satirically penned portrait of American life.
