Love FeastHere is the third volume of Frederick Buechner's profound and prodigiously funny tale of Leo Bebb, con-man and preacher. Taking its title from the outrageous gatherings organized by the now-widowed Bebb in Princeton, New Jersey - combinations of religious revivals and lone-ins that soon have the authorities clamoring for the preacher's hide - Love Feast reveals Bebb as an enormously funny character who always manages to find something of value amid the wreckage of his dreams and who can teach us something deeper about ourselves. “Leo Bebb was always good company,” one character says near the end of Love Feast - and no one who has participated in this banquet of wit and wisdom will disagree. |
