The people of Pie Time are suffering from Gods Finger, a mysterious plague that leaves its victims dead with a big hole through their chests. In each hole is a random consumer product. Mano Medium, a sensitive, young cigarette-factory worker in love, does his part by quitting the factory to work double-time as Pie Times replacement barber and butcher, and by holding the things found in the holes of the newly dead. However, the more people die, the bigger Mano becomes. XO, the power-hungry corporation bent on overtaking Pie Time, and Father Mothers, the bumbling priest, have their own ideas about how to capitalize on Gods Finger. By contrast, and powered by honoring his own lost loves, Mano fights to resist this exploitation by teaching death to those who cant afford to survive it. As Pie Time and Mano both grow irrevocably, Mano must make a decision about how he can best fit into his own life. With a large cast of unusual characters, each struggling with their own complex and tangled relationships to death, money, and love, Mammother is a fabulist's tale of how we hold on and how we let go in a rapidly growing world.
6. Mammother by Zachary Schomburg. I think what this book wants to do, if it cares for you in the way it cares for me, and I think it must, is make a home for itself in your heart. This novel-by-a-poet is so weird and so beautiful.
