Robert Coover's first novel, published in 1969, begins with an explosion in a mine. The sole survivor, who sees apocalyptic visions, is viewed as a prophet by the citizens of his small town. When the cult spreads to the world at large, madness takes over, and the novel culminates in a vast crowd gathered to witness the Apocalypse. Even in this early novel, Coover's themes--including the insanity in normal life and the comic side of mass hysteria--are vividly in evidence.
