Skipping Towards Gomorrah The Seven Deadly Sins and the Pursuit of Happiness in America

It's time for someone to speak up for the sinners. In Skipping Towards Gomorrah, Dan Savage eviscerates the right-wing conservatives as he commits each of the Seven Deadly Sins himself (or tries to) and finds those everyday Americans who take particular delight in their sinful pursuits. Among them: greed - Gamblers reveal secrets behind outrageous fortune. lust - "We're swingers!"-you won't believe who's doing it. gluttony - Dan meets gluttons with attitude at a pro-fat conference. sloth - Leave it to Dan to find a way to celebrate the sin that will get him in trouble with his mother. envy - Meet the rich-and then be glad you're not one of them. pride - You'll never look at a gay pride parade the same way again. anger - Texans shoot off some rounds and then listen to Dan fire off on his own about guns, gun control, and the Second Amendment. Come along for the ride and learn a unique history of the Seven Deadly Sins, discover a new interpretation of the biblical stories of Sodom and Gomorrah, and read enough Bill Bennett, Robert Bork, Pat Buchanan, Dr. Laura, and Bill O'Reilly bashing to more than make up for their incessant carping.Savage, Dan is the author of 'Skipping Towards Gomorrah The Seven Deadly Sins and the Pursuit of Happiness in America', published 2003 under ISBN 9780452284166 and ISBN 0452284163.
