The Resurrection of Mary Mabel McTavish

The Resurrection of Mary Mabel McTavish is an adult comic novel set in the 1930s about a young woman who becomes a Hollywood star after ‘resurrecting’ a kid who is electrocuted at a revival meeting.

Jack Warner, J. Edgar Hoover, W.R. Hearst and the Rockettes round out a cast of Ponzi promoters, Bolshevik hoboes, tent revivalists, and double-dealing social climbers in a fast-paced tale that satirizes the religious right, media manipulation, celebrity, and greed.
