Happy Birthday Jesus
No Customer Reviews
Happy Birthday Jes s is an insightful and spell-binding novel of and about our times, when the relationship between race and violence dominates the news and threatens not only our personal security but our confidence in our social processes. This novel recreates the making of a sociopath. It is written by a criminal defense lawyer whose extensive experience has been representing individuals such as the protagonist Jes s Olivas. Whether Jes s is a victim or the bane of society is left to the reader's judgment in this novel which details the painful recollections of Jes s himself. What is clear, however, is that the boiling pot of Jes s' emotions that finally erupts in senseless violence has ben cooking for years on the flames of religious fanaticism, poverty and race hatred. All of the social institutions that should have nurtured and protected Jes s - family, school, church, the court - ultimately failed him, leading him to strike back uncontrollably, irrationally.
