Paul Tomenko is no stranger to the improbable. He became a magazine sweepstakes winner and celebrated counterculture writer by age 19. Now, after reaching for a can of Chef Boy-ar-dee spaghetti and meatballs, he's traveling to and from God's library somewhere outside the Universe to prevent the end of eternity. Because of a DNA flaw, humanity no longer can ascend through the Planes of Existence after they die. They can't access memories from countless past lives in previous versions of the Universe or acquire new recollections. That means no one will have the needed expertise to replace God when He dies.

The land of Ignorantia...bears striking similarities to the modern West. One of its older faithfuls writes to warn a young missionary who will soon arrive on Ignorantian shores. It is not as advertised. Steeples and cathedrals abound. Platitudinous and syrupy words drip from the lips of the Ignorantian churchmen. They have become convinced they know a book they seldom read, and it is no small Ignorantian tragedy. The letters seem to straddle the border of fiction and reality, but the state of affairs is familiar!

A community of outsiders takes over an abandoned gas station. They spend their days ripping up asphalt, drinking beer and eating hot dogs, and wandering through woods and towns in search of new ways of living. People come and go: a charismatic landscaper, Italian anarchists, a policewoman, travelers. A teenager drifts into homelessness. And The Girl With No Name keeps a journal of her attempts to meet new people and sleep with them, sex that is “not a sideline” but the motivating force in a story she is struggling to understand.
