Father of Lies
Brian Evenson
At the urging of his wife, Provost Fochs
reluctantly agrees to see a therapist, Dr. Feshtig. Through the
therapist's detailed notes, correspondence from the church, and the
provost himself, the provost's sickness emerges and the reader is drawn
into the disturbing inner workings of a violent pedophile.The provost
relays his crimes in excruciating detail. 'God told me that where evil
made its mark, good must follow, burning evil out and purifying the
body.' Fochs describes a dream in which he sodomizes two boys from the
parish in an effort to exorcise their sins. Soon thereafter, two boys
come forward accusing Fochs of that very deed. In another dream he
strangles and dismembers a young girl in the woods near his house, where
a child from his parish is later found.Brian
Evenson holds the reader to the page until the novel's fateful end. En
route, he questions whether obedience to God justifies taking every
possible liberty, right or wrong. And he brings to light how an
institution supposed to be under divine guidance can be as eager as its
worldly counterpart to soil its hands in the furthering of the cause of
supposed righteousness.
