Everyone in Stokum, his rank little pinprick of a hometown, knows about the premonition and wants to know more. But Luke holds everyone—the local news crew, his buddy Fang, the Polish widow next door—at arm’s length as he lurches through his own personal minefield studded with previously unconsidered existential ponderings, Christian fundamentalists, a missing girl’s frantic mother, and a dream girl who isn’t his. Anthem of a Reluctant Prophet is a darkly comic coming-of-age novel that nails contemporary youth culture and sits comfortably alongside the recent offerings by Miriam Toews and DBC Pierre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                    \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                                    \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJOANNE PROULX\u003c\/b\u003e's debut novel,\u003ci\u003e Anthem of a Reluctant Prophet\u003c\/i\u003e, was the recipient of Canada's Sunburst Award for Fantastic Fiction and was also named a best debut of 2007 by \u003ci\u003eThe Globe and Mail\u003c\/i\u003e.
