1. 1. O Sinners!

   

   Journalist Faruq Zaidi embeds himself in a California redwoods cult called The Nameless, led by the enigmatic Vietnam veteran Odo, to investigate its teachings and leader. The story alternates between Faruq’s present investigation, Odo’s wartime past, and a documentary-style account of the group’s clash with a Texas church, as Faruq confronts grief and buried memories. The novel explores longing, belonging, and the pull of charismatic movements without revealing plot outcomes.
