The Counting House of Job & Elihu in Wrong-thinking Camelot J Greg Deane

The Counting House of Job and Elihu in Wrong-thinking Camelot with unstinting praise. As the title suggests, the work is a fusion of biblical morality combined with the enchantment of the Arthurian cycle of knightly courtesy and chivalry. This enthralling novel is a gripping read because of the sardonic hilarity of its characters and the insightful dialogue that makes this a conversational novel that could easily be transformed into an expressionist drama that would easily surpass any of the plays of Chekhov. It is also a didactic satire that lampoons many of the strictures against thought and speech that have arisen in recent years, or those limiting conventions that have come to be included under the unfortunate label of political correctness. Mr. Deane is a stalwart opponent of these shackles that become increasingly heavy with each year, but they have not silenced him.
