Synopsis

"In the beginning, Bob didn't plan to start a religion; it just happened."So begins a wild and fantastic romp through the fictional Free Nation, satirizing religious fanaticism, politics, and human fumbling. The plot is driven by a host of quirky characters: Bob, a middle aged blank slate living in the Northwest region who first converses with his dog and then with God; nineteen year old Sophia Wise whose life goal is to cover her entire body with tattoos; Roland Brand, a chameleon whose ascension to power becomes progressively more outrageous; and Delbert Thorne, the Chosen Leader of the Free Nation who conducts a continuously fruitless search for a Secretary of Religion and who bears a striking resemblance to another idiotic world leader from recent history.The Book of Bob dashes drunkenly through the house of mirrors of Western culture, dissecting with pinpoint precision the absurdity, tragedy, and hilarity of the human race.
