A clearly heroic and brilliant work. - Kurt Vonnegut, author of Slaughterhouse-Five and Cat's Cradle B.O.O.T. (The Book of Obvious Truth) For over two thousand years, the Book of Obvious Truth traversed history, passing through a chain of historical luminaries. Rumored to contain entries by Socrates, Galileo, Jesus of Nazareth, Friedrich Nietzsche, and a string of others, the sole copy of the B.O.O.T. remains elusive, as mysterious as the Q-gospel and Aristotle's book on humor, a footnoted allusion in scholarly works and the object of fascination for enigmatic religious organizations and avaricious collectors. When Benjamin Yes, a reclusive Jazz musician struggling to escape his lineage, stumbles across the book in the lining of a Salvation Army jacket, the find thrusts Benjamin into a dark world of secret societies, malicious moguls, and would-be messiahs. As the book's reluctant benefactor, Benjamin negotiates a maze of eccentric characters in his attempt to escape the B.O.O.T. and undo the disruption it brings to his otherwise unruffled life. In the end, he learns that the truth can be a heavy burden and is forced to reconcile himself to his destiny.
