Book description
The life of a naive, born-again teen can sometimes seem God-awful, as
Gideon discovers at Overcomer Bible Institute. Having given himself
over to religion, Gideon quickly finds his newfound faith challenged
by sexually aggressive women, a disturbed student armed with a power
drill, and Siamese-twin evangelists.
A satiric look at the religious and secular worlds, Anxious
Gravity succeeds at the daunting task of being both thoughtful
and wildly entertaining.
"Jeff Wells is the most consistently funny humorist in Canada
today." -Michael Bate, Editor-in-Chief, Frank
"Best of all is Wells's guerilla cynicism, a kind of wry despair
over our persistent hope for meaning in an absurd world."
Jeff
Wells is national affairs editor and principal satirist for Frank
magazine. He has written for a number of Canadian and American

Gravity is his first novel.
