This novella is so interesting, both in its subject matter (the true story of a turn of the 20th C cult in Benton Harbor, MI) and in its delivery. I've read it several times and use it in one of my classes as an example of how to incorporate different "forms." The author also employs different narrative styles and techniques, which could make it challenging for some readers but thoroughly engaging for others. The language on a sentence level is gorgeous.
