Pharoni

When the body of Harry Injurides - playwright, provocateur and bodybuilder - washes up on a beach, his friends are shocked, but not altogether surprised. But when they meet to mourn Harry, he shows up and says he's been resurrected. Pharoni is the story of those friends. Tommy Pharoni faces the resurrection with bewilderment, tries to write about his friend Harry, and accidentally founds a church. Roy Sudden starts a tech empire based on digital pain, drawing in billionaire private equity investors, femme-fatale programmers, and tsunamis of capital. Meanwhile, Roy's on-again, off-again girlfriend Maud works in secret to bring radical justice to the bottom rungs of society, while her brother Andrew tries to stay true to her artistic ideals. As Tommy's religion grows, Roy and his backers try to take it over, and start a battle about more than doctrine. As the fight expands, it engulfs Tommy's marriage and threatens his life, leading to a conflict and an outcome with strangely humane results that no one could predict.




Completely fresh and utterly surprising, Pharoni is an off-the-wall novel that will keep you scratching your head until the last unpredictable scene.

- R. C. Gibson, INDIES TODAY (5/5 STARS)




(T)he storyline itself is ingeniously mysterious... miraculous spectacles in quick succession... sharply limns... the spirit of New York ... provocatively mocking the ambition of artists...

- KIRKUS

Filled with fascinating ideas... technology transmitting pain... that a modern-day religion would be subsumed into corporate "wellness" ... he writes about them with zest.

- INDIE READER




Pharoni, with its philosophical and social commentary, shows the face of the world that we often ignore... captures readerly attention until the very end
