Adam Athelstan grows and sells-and sings to-very rare flowers.Where once the whim of the Hebrew God determined the fate of that tribes greatest heroes, in Waxed Exceeding Mighty it is by the adulteries of seemingly everyone around him that Adam Athelstan is expelled from his garden, enslaved in the desert, enthroned in the jungle.Waxed Exceeding Mighty tells the epic story of Adam Athelstan, an angelic young man who grows and sells, and sings to, very rare flowers. When his cherished livelihood is crushed by a boat he has no choice but to take a job as a delivery driver for a florist.Mistakenly arrested as a foreign sex-worker, Adam is enslaved in the desert wilderness of an immigration detention centre. His naivete soon attracts a job offer and Adam is flown to paradisiacal Vietnam, where he tries to settle into his new vocation-returning gone-native tourists to their families.Unwaveringly polite in a lascivious world, Adams innocence is set to be his only bulwark against the insatiable lusts of the universe.The first ever Woody Allen-Biblical Epic-Vietnam War-novel
