THE DIVINERS.

Edition: First printing.

New York & Boston: Little Brown, (2005) dj. Hardcover first edition - A satirical novel (Moody's first novel in 7 years) with a huge cast of characters linked together by "a proposed television miniseries about water dowsers, or diviners, that starts with the Mongol hordes, works its way through Gypsies and Mormons, and ends up in Las Vegas. This script, as it happens, doesn't actually exist. As a joke, Thaddeus and Annabel have concocted a fake summary of the project that goes awry because of a mistake by Tyrone's messenger service. As a result, a number of people who have no idea what they're bidding on, including Vanessa, begin to fight over the right to produce the series. And this fraud, which rather pointedly takes place during the post-election shenanigans of the 2000 presidential contest, begins to resonate in unpredictable ways." (Washington Post review) 567 pp. ISBN: 0-316085391.
