Rattlesnake Farming

About the Book

Rattlesnake Farming takes place at Christmastime in contemporary Santa Fe at the home of the rattlesnake “farmer” who hypothesizes that rattlesnake venom contains an “antidote” to Christianity. A novel about original sin and redemption, a family saga, realistic and magical, this is “a remarkable novel, at once hilarious and serious,” (The New Mexican) “an absorbing and unusual work by a writer of extensive abilities and elaborate imagination.” (Joseph Heller)
