A Face in the Sky Jenkins, Greg (American Folklore Society)

Who would've thought that doomsday could be so much fun? Though the characters in Greg Jenkins's new novel A Face in the Sky may not always enjoy what happens, readers certainly will. An apocalyptic tale with literary flair, A FACE IN THE SKY delivers a leavening dose of dark, irreverent humor. Among the characters are a befuddled business professor, a retired (and roguish) major league baseball player, an adult film actress, and a playwright who aspires to being a terrorist. In unique ways, each of them must confront what may be the end of the world.
