Book Synopsis
Looking at the lives and works of some of Finster's contemporaries: the self-taught evangelical artists whose beliefs and neuvres occupy the gray area between madness and Christian ecstasy, this book includes biographical portraits, and a profound meditation on the chaos of despair and the ways in which creativity can help order our lives.

Trade Review
"Bottoms is impassioned, curious, relentless, and angry, but never cynical, least of all about the power of creative expression to salve one's longings." (Los Angeles Times)
