The Gospel According to Danny

“A breakneck pursuit of American Dream . . . [Hicks is] a motormouth Philip Roth.” Matt Bell, author of APPLESEEDAt the dawn of the new millennium, Danny Gausepohl seems to have it all: a marriage to his college sweetheart, a steady job as head waiter at The American Bistro near the Bronx, and his first home in Brewster, NY. But the stability he’s built is fragile. Missteps, betrayals, and a devastating school shooting upend his world, unraveling everything he holds dear. When his identity is ripped away, he faces his greatest challenge yet: reinventing himself in a country that no longer feels like home. THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO DANNY is a deeply human story about love, fatherhood, and the cost of a divided nation-- perfect for fans of Revolutionary Road by Richard Yates and the novels of Don DeLillo. As Danny grapples with the loss of his values, beliefs, and sense of self, he must ask: Is there anything—or anyone—left to come home to?
