Heart of the Original by Steve Ailey

The book has two settings Soviet Moscow during a visit by Satan and Jerusalem at the time of Jesus's execution bloodlet like a de chirico rebounding back and forth between these two atmospheres. The reader ends up tasting a space between the two which is deeply strange and which could not be conveyed by any other means but working with seemingly unrelated extremes is a glass key you must turn very carefully done right it puts sherbet in the heart and washes a purple white feeling through the top of the brain that is that cut that feels that the book gives you can't be conveyed in a blurb.
