Synopsis
"They Call Me the Carpenter" is a provocative and satirical novel that explores the radical concept of a second coming within a modern industrial society. The story begins when a man, who appears to be the historical figure of Jesus, steps out of a stained-glass window and into the bustling streets of a fictionalized Los Angeles during the early 20th century. Known simply as "the Carpenter," he navigates a world defined by Hollywood glamour, political corruption, and extreme wealth disparity.
The work serves as a sharp critique of the hypocrisy found in contemporary society and institutionalized religion, contrasting the Carpenter's message of universal brotherhood and social justice with the greed and materialism of the era. As the narrative follows the protagonist's interactions with various social classes-from downtrodden laborers to elite power brokers-it exposes the underlying tensions and contradictions of the American Dream. Blending religious allegory with a passionate call for social reform, "They Call Me the Carpenter" remains a significant literary exploration of how the core tenets of faith might collide with the complexities of a capitalist society.
