It is 2026, and millions of Americans are getting ready to form separate communities so they may live by the principles taught in The Book of Shem. Calling themselves “Fellows,” they revere Isaac Snow, the deceased author of The Book of Shem, as their prophet. To settle the question of whether he’s a prophet, a fraud, or something else, Snow’s son sets out to tell his father’s story. Inspired by the 1960s folk music revival, and his experiences with the beatniks, hippies, and Mormons, Isaac has crafted a unique message that millions of Americans find irresistible, but only after many years of feeling cursed and forsaken. In a story that blends tragedy, humor, and redemption and is set in New York City, San Francisco, and Provo, Utah, Kingdoms of the Night Sky is a rollicking journey of discovery that reminds us of the fractured nature of reality itself.
