Holy F*ck
Joseph Incardona
Translated by Sam Taylor
Stella works miracles. She heals the sick, the dying, the paralysed. The Vatican rejoices—at last, a living saint for the modern age. And in Georgia, of all places: a miracle in the sweltering heart of the American South. But there’s a catch. Stella heals the people she sleeps with. In her motorhome. For money.
A saint who sells sex doesn’t play well in Rome. A saint who dies young, however—pure, tragic, and easily mythologized—that’s a different story. Enter the Bronski twins: the Vatican’s most discreet executioners, sent to clean up the miracle.
Darkly comic and unsettlingly tender, Holy F*ck is a blistering satire of faith, desire, and the machinery of salvation.
