Sinossi
"Pulls few punches when it comes to cultural, educational, social, economic, philosophical, sexual, or linguistic issues. Pick up Wrequiem."
—Arizona Daily Star
"I found myself gasping and chortling. The author skewers these times as adeptly as Ian McEwan's Solar or Garmus's Lessons in Chemistry. Wrequiem proves that satire is alive and well and living in Arizona."
—CarbonGuy, reviewer
"Stumbled upon the book of the year...I nearly died laughing."
—Robert N., reviewer
When attendees at the “Neo-Anthropocentric Models of Retrospective Freedoms” colloquium arrive in spiritual Sedona, they become facilitator Bradley Maniopolos’s problem. Scholarly debate immediately devolves into who has freedom, who doesn’t, who’s getting it, who confers it, who assumes it, who guarantees it, and why the hell anyone cares. All the while pontificating on stolen land.
But Bradley has problems of his own. Looming retirement. His identity. Personal issues of a private nature he’d rather not talk about. Too bad his best friend can’t keep his mouth shut, and the billionaire benefactors are keeping tabs through social media.
In the tradition of Catch-22, A Confederacy of Dunces, and The Sellout, Wrequiem at the Red Rocks makes you laugh until you see yourself. Then you cry. Earning the highest praise from readers, Wrequiem's brutalist satire slams a wrecking ball into the hypocrisies we flawed humans depend on—and vociferously deny.
"The humor and satire are biting ... one of the best pieces of satire, I've read."
—LMC, reviewer

When attendees at the "Neo-Anthropocentric Models of Retrospective Freedoms" colloquium arrive in Sedona, they become facilitator Bradley Maniopolos's problem. Scholarly debate immediately devolves into who has freedom, who doesn't, who's getting it, who confers it, who assumes it, who guarantees it, and why the hell any of it matters.

In the tradition of Catch-22, A Confederacy of Dunces, and The Sellout, Wrequiem at the Red Rocks makes you laugh until you see yourself. Then you cry. It's not art that wins universal praise, but in the brutalist tradition, the satire is functional and effective in exposing the hypocrisies we flawed humans depend on-and vociferously deny. In Wrequiem at the Red Rocks, the effort to enrich the concept of freedom becomes a thin gruel of semantic satiation.
