REVIEW
Description:
What
if Mary Magdalena fell in love with you? I mean today, modem times, and there's
this stunning woman with these eyes, and this passion. You know you can never
measure up to being the sort of man she's used to. But still... And here she's
fallen in love with you. You're in your 60's, she's thirty-something, a stripper
and lapdancer in Manhattan. Will you end up crucified, you specifically up there
on the cross, not just metaphorically as with lovers? But how do you get away
from her? She wants you just as you are, she doesn't care about your age or
decrepitude. She doesn't care about anything more than loving you and having you
in her, of her, body and soul poised on the cusp of a love few men have ever
known. Still, you're scared. Are you up to this? Maybe so, to love with this
burning, boiled down vital plasma of your soul still unexpressed. However long
you last in her blazing love it'd be like the Big Bang, God's Aha! moment
setting off yet another Creation. You'd know stuff. In fact, everything. But do
you want to go that far? A real dilemma. Somehow you've opened Magdalena's heart
after its being closed down for 2000 years. And the prophecy buzz is that you're
It this time around. Oh God...

Review:
“An old
man raised from the dead, made into a prince of light. This is an instant
classic…”
-Umberto
Berlioz, Life Times Magazine, February 2, 2004
EXCERPT:
"I've
heard all the lines, Jim Joe, I mean all in my 37 years, and that one turns me
off the most. It makes me feel like a chicken fried steak you want to pour
country gravy on. You want to know a line a woman can't resist?"
"Tell
me, so I can use it."
"'I
love you like I have loved no other, I am yours forever, just to be near you
and feel the warmth of your body, to smell your hair and nestle my cheek in
the curve of your neck, to be graced by your looking at me the way you do, to
inhale the air you have breathed, the touch of your hand, the tilt of your
head when you are thinking. The curve of your waist.'
"A
woman'll always believe this and be turned on by it because she wants to be
all that, to answer the man's passion with her own, even if his words are all
lies. If he says them to her without stumbling too much or using crib notes,
if she feels his slightest care for her as a woman, it opens her heart and
that's what enflames her. Her own heart. Not the guy."
"Oh.
Yeh. But I want to jump your bones, not marry you. How about we trade hats,
your cap for a silk scarf I gave to a girl once, it's more you than the one
you have on. I paid $80 for the scarf, she never wore it. Virgin scarf. What
did the cap cost?"
"Did
you get any of what I was saying?”
"What
were you saying?"
"The
cap cost twelve bucks."
"See,
you come out ahead. I can wear it when I go to my AlAnon meeting. It's more
me."
"I
like the cap, the message. What happened to the girl you gave the scarf
to?"
"Why
do you want to know?"
She
looks at him levelly, he laughs with delight, gets up and goes to the next
room scooping air in a signal for her to follow.
"C'mon,
least look at it. Going to waste in there."
As
she follows there is movement behind her. She looks back and catches a glimpse
of dark eyes shining through a mess of black hair and hooding shawl. The hair
at the nape of her neck prickles. "Who's the woman?"
"Who?"
"That's
what I said."
"I
have a cat.”
"As
tall as you? Wears a shawl?"
"Little
shorter. But she's not dangerous except when she's hungry, or in heat. Come
over, look at this." He shakes out the folded scarf, Indian designs in
pink, blue and black on a white background. He holds it out but she only
glances at it.
“Who
is she?"
“You
like?"
"Nice.
What about her?"
"Trade
for the dumb ass cap?"
"I
asked you a question, JJ. Answer me."
