Johnson, bedtime reading: "God's Secret Power Can Be Yours." I pulled a chair up and watched his lips: glom the inside track to Jesus, fight the Jew-Communist conspiracy to mongrelize Christian America. Send your contribution to Post Office Box blah, blah, blah.
"Sanderline, let me ask you something."
"Uh, yessir."
"Do you believe that pamphlet you're reading?"
"Uh, yessir. Right here it says this woman who came back to life said Jesus guarantees all gold-star contributors a new car every year in heaven."
JESUS ****.
"Sanderline, did you catch a few in your last couple of fights?"
From White Jazz, by James Ellroy
