Currently he teaches writing in upstate New York. Tommy Zurhellen grew up in New York City. His fiction has appeared widely in Carolina Quarterly, Quarterly West, Passages North, Appalachee Review, and elsewhere. This is his first novel.
It contains plot twists and undeniable truths as deep and wide as the Little Missouri River, with ideas and messages so big, so earthshaking, so unmistakably divine, they do more than transform the little town of Nazareth. (There's also a county fair elephant on the loose, just to keep you on your toes.) This incandescent debut is an authentic religious allegory connecting Lakota history with scripture. This gem of a novel--a splendid recasting and modern retelling of the story of the young messiah--is a fast, quirky, dirt-kicking ride through the Badlands of North Dakota from the early 1980s to the present, complete with feathered locks, KISS cover bands, and fire-and-brimstone preachers. It's an adventurous, irresistible tale about everything from a 31-year-old fugitive mom who escapes a motel shootout with an abandoned newborn to a corrupt sheriff, a kindhearted carpenter, the world's oldest man, and the chosen paths of two hell-raising, miracle-bent cousins. They change the world. Simply epiphanic!''--Michael Martone, author of Double-wide and The Blue Guide to Indiana ''A large-hearted book written with empathy, force, and verve.''--Ron Carlson, author of Five Skies and The Signal ''Richly imagined and so very poignant this novel Nazareth, North Dakota is something special.'' ----Robert Olmstead, author of Coal Black Horse and Far Bright Star. ''Tommy Zurhellen's Nazareth transports us to a North Dakota unlike any we've encountered on I-94: abandoned infants, escaped elephants, and a cast of characters whose misadventures reach proportions downright Biblical. Don't miss this writer's ambitious debut.''--Wendy Rawlings, author of The Agnostics and Come Back Irish''In Nazareth, North Dakota, Tommy Zurhellen perSome of it is brilliant and some of it is mind-numbing. The second installment, Owl and the City of Angels, is scheduled for release Summer 2015.RATING: C. You get dry flavorless chicken with an amazing coating. Very emotional story but beautiful. Love abounds, but is clearly more of a force for chaos and destruction than of poetry and healing. I am sure we will see more of T.S McDonald on this topic in the future!. The artwork will draw your children into the book and the time spent searching through the pictures for hidden images will pay off as your children learn about the world into which Jesus was born. An excellent tool loaded with Biblical evidence against these subjects. He stole the show on multiple occasions.There were some issues that may be just be first book syndrome and will possibly subside as the series and Charish’s voice finds its groove. this is a good resource if you are thinking about living on land. I'm not certain of that ratio but I'm too lazy to get up and check right now. Of course, coming out to his conservative parents wasn't an option for him at the time, but his "secret life" during the week somewhat served to make bearable the weekends at the mo
