Book excerpt: By using Jesus, or Carpenter as Sinclair calls him, as a literary figure, Sinclair exposes the new and upcoming culture of 1920's Southern California, namely Hollywood. The story takes place in the fictional city of Western City, and begins with a man named Billy being attacked by a mob outside of a theater after watching a German film. Billy then stumbles into a church and is visited by Carpenter, a.k.a. Jesus, who walks out of a stained glass window. Carpenter is shocked and appalled by the upper-class culture. The story then roughly follows the biblical account of the Ministry of Jesus Christ. In the end, Carpenter decides to escape the corroded culture by jumping back into the stained glass window from whence he came.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Sinclair had written very critically of organized religion in his book The Profits of Religion, in this novel he takes a more human approach to the story of Christ. Of course, the Christ character is repulsed by the show of wealth he finds in 1920s California culture, which ultimately contributes to his leaving. In that sense, They Call Me Carpenter fits well into the canon of Upton Sinclair.

Book excerpt: Upton Sinclair calls Christ the world's greatest revolutionary martyr. Furthermore, by a mere transition of some 2,000 years and by a series of incidents, absolutely literal translations of Christ's life, transplanted to America today, Sinclair proves his point. In doing so he has written a novel that provokes more than the ordinary amount of thought. True, it is highly sensational. But Christ was a tremendous sensation in his own day. Mobs, big, little, friendly, ugly, attentive and jeering play a conspicuous part. Much of the color and action of the story is most adroitly combined with dissertations by the author on modern problems. In spite of them, not because of them, the scenes are lastingly impressive. The characterization of Christ under modern conditions is at all times dominant, to which brief flashes of the four apostles provide an interesting background, the apostles coming from various types of modern men. It is interesting to note that the author is so dubious of general knowledge of the Bible that he considers it necessary - to prevent readers thinking the novel a joke - to give in an appendix parallel references to pages in the story with the corresponding passages in the Bible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from They Call Me Carpenter: A Tale of the Second Coming The beginning of this strange adventure was my going to see a motion picture which had been made in Ger many. It was three years after the end of the war, and you'd have thought that the people of Western City would have got over their war-phobias. But apparently they hadn't; anyway, there was a mob to keep anyone from getting into the theatre, and all the other mobs started from that. Before I tell about it, I must intro duce Dr. Karl Henner, the well-known literary critic tfrom Berlin, who was travelling in this country, and stopped off in Western City at that time. Dr. Henner was the cause of my going to see the picture, and if you will have a moment's patience, you will see how the ideas which he put into my head served to start me on my extraordinary adventure.

Book excerpt: "Each of Ed Carpenter's installations is an emotional intervention into the architecture, intrinsic to the space while also an artistic overlay. His art re-interprets the space, creating sub-texts and spatial complexity, using varieties of scale, color, light, material and depth to articulate his response to each place. Working in glass, aluminium, stainless steel, cables and computer-controlled lighting, his vocabulary blends seamlessly into the language of architecture. Each piece seems to grow from its place, reach for the light, and breath its own life. The imagery evoked is simultaneously technological and biological, engineered and expressive. This book presents the portion of Carpenter's work which is specifically concerned with light and architectural sculpture, leaving for another effort a number of projects, such as bridges and urban sculptures, which have other primary concerns."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
