A Modern Scarlet Letter Satire of Adulterous Ministers, Desert Retreat Confessions, and Faith

Reverend Thomas Marshfield, a suburban New England minister, is banished by his bishop to an isolated desert motel-sanatorium in the American Southwest for thirty days of mandated spiritual rehabilitation following his sexual indiscretions with female parishioners.

Tasked with writing daily morning confessions, Marshfield crafts witty, ironic journal entries addressing his silent manager, Ms. Prynne. Through four weeks of therapeutic writing, he grapples with theological doubt, marital erosion, religious hypocrisy, and human desire.

Why You’ll Love This Book

John Updike inaugurates his celebrated Scarlet Letter trilogy with a satirical, intellectually daring character study. Essential reading for fans of Philip Roth, Saul Bellow, and Robertson Davies.
