Alfred EakerAlfred Eaker has been obsessively working on his first novel, Brother Cobweb, for the last five years and, off and on, for a quarter of a century. Additionally, his first eighteen years were spent in a ho-de-ho, backwoods, sawdust on the floor, woode pews Pentecostal Church in the Midwest. In other words, Eaker's been working toward this novel his whole damned life. In his career as an artist, Eaker's work has been paradoxically labeled as degenerate, orthodox, heterodox, modernist, mystical theology, provocative, academic, and blasphemous. Indeed, blasphemy is a language that Eaker seems to speak fluently, even when he doesn't mean to, and he's been doing it through painting, performance art, independent film, and film criticism for three decades. Oh, and he has a few degrees in theology and art. Read More Read Less
