DEEP CITY in Times Roman

DEEP CITY in Times Roman is a tongue-in-cheek novel about the cult movements in the 1970s and 80s, a roman à clef, (French for novel with a key), which spoofs those movements which are designed to dupe persons into supporting the leader and building his wealth.Two friends, Lynette and Shirley, are quite angry at the Reverend Yun Sung Ghunne, who has separated their husbands from them as he forms his movement. Their husbands serve the movement working at The Washington LINES, a Uni run newspaper, with a stipulation that movement members be chaste, not even touching, for three years before consummation of their marriages, even though they were married before the good reverend came along. Together with a full cast of colorful characters, who seem destined to meet, Lynette sets out on a crazy quest to take down the Unis, stop the reverend, and save her marriage.
