About the Book

Luke Hunter thinks he's joking when he tells a good friend exactly when - 8:37 the following morning - and how - hit by a red van from out of town - that friend will die. But when events unfold as Luke foretold, he wants none of it: he has enough problems being an average teenager without the added burden of seeing into the future - not to mention the ever-after. Terrified, but pretending not to be, Luke pushes his friends and family away, while the local news crew, a Christian fundamentalist preacher and a missing girl's frantic mother all draw nearer, seeking to profit from Luke's new-found 'gift'. Written in clear, precise prose, Anthem of a Reluctant Prophet is a darkly comic coming-of-age novel with a difference. Hormonal and humorous, exhilarating and wise, it is a book about fear and truth, life and death, and the music that plays inside us all. Written in clear, precise prose, Anthem of a Reluctant Prophet is a darkly comic coming-of-age novel about death and life. 'If great literature is your religion, read the gospel according to Luke Hunter.This debut novel is walk-on-water magical, a true revelation' Neil Smith, author of Bang Crunch 'Anthem of a Reluctant Prophet is the rarest of things: a well-written, funny, and entertaining first novel' Ray Robertson, author of Moody Food and Gently Down the Stream 'Joanne Proulx's darkly comic, thoughtful novel nails contemporary youth culture, and a lot more. Here's a coming-of-age story that's constantly surprising, at once both wonderfully unfamiliar and true-feeling' Michael Helm, author of The Projectionist 'Joanne Proulx is a rare talent and Anthem of a Reluctant Prophet is perfectly drawn, with great voice, humour, complexity and an unforgettable setting' Lauren B. Davis, author of The Radiant City and The Stubborn Season
