New Mormon Books

Quote:  You want to see New York Doll, the Arthur “Killer” Kane documentary. Really, you do. Even if you’re not a fan of the Dolls or rock history. It’s not a New York Dolls documentary, which is what I was expecting. Instead, it runs through the necessary background on Arthur and then focuses on his conversion to the Mormon Church, his job in the LDS Family Research Library, and his decision to regroup with the remaining Dolls in 2004, right before his death. The interviews, which are split pretty evenly between the usual suspects and church members he was close to, are remarkable. And Arthur himself is remarkable in many ways, both as a subject and as a person. I cried at the end, and I don’t cry at movies.

“ Brian Evenson, the author of six previous books of fiction and director of the Literary Arts Program at Brown University, has written a new novel, (paperback, 218 pages, $14.95), a thriller investigating the contemporary aftermath of Mormonism’s closeted and violent past. Evenson’s first book, Altmann’s Tongue, caused a stir when it was published, resulting in his resignation from Brigham Young University and eventual excommunication from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.”
