The Abstinence Teacher by Tom Perrotta

The Abstinence Teacher by Tom Perrotta

A sharp, funny and beautifully observed satire about the disturbing influence of the Christian right from one of Americas most cherished authors.

'Highly entertaining…At heart, this very funny, very engaging novel poses a question that seems all too pertinent in our Manichean times – why are we afraid of doubts and the mess that is human existence? And why, oh why, does there have to be a goddam answer to everything?' The Times

'An expectedly serious, fair-minded and humane look at a lonely woman and a searching manIt is surprising and unusually loving towards its characters. Perrotta is especially good on that thorniest of questions, why Americans are so drawn to evangelical Christianity.' Patrick Ness, Guardian

‘Told with wisdom, wit and warmth.’ Daily Mail

‘This understated, relevant read from the champion of states-side suburbia brings fresh insight into the battle between the two greatest forces in contemporary America.’ Observer

Tom Perrotta is the author of several works of fiction, including ‘Little Children’, ‘Joe College’ and ‘Election’. He lives outside Boston, Massachusetts.
