This is a story of America in the year 2020: Fractured socially and
politically, its enemies are gaining ground and its civil liberties
are threatened like never before.
Jayesh Blackstone, a professional football player, finds himself
at the focal point of an historic experiment: a woman is going to
play in a football game, and it will happen in the Super Bowl. It
turns out that this is just a foretaste of the metamorphosis that
is taking shape. The very same event is the venue for an
announcement by world leaders of a new order, one that defines
humanity exclusively in terms of race and gender.
The new reality steadily encroaches on Blackstone's world; he is
compelled to choose his allies, declare his identity, and determine
the price he is willing to pay to live the life of a free
individual.
Embracing controversy from its very first pages, The Kicker of
St. John's Wood is a rampage through the pantheon of contemporary
idols, and a literary journey into the American national psyche of
the twenty-first century.
