Not a "simplified" version of the Book of Mormon, but a completely
rewritten paraphrase, with a contemporary voice hovering somewhere
in the realm of J. D. Salinger, Hunter Thompson, and some generic
humanist academic/poet, i.e., me. An affectionate, meditational
dramatization and commentary. From the Introduction: "Why
'street-legal'? That's a term we use for souped-up cars-streamlined
and powerfully efficient but also decorative, with decals,
pinstriping, and tricked-out doodads-that still can be ridden in
normal lanes of traffic. They're not cars meant for everyday
errands, to be sure. Offroad is their normal habitat. But the only
thing they usually lack to be 'normal' is a better muffler. This
paraphrase of the Book of Mormon is like that. I've streamlined a
lot of passages, put them in terse, up-to-date vernacular, thinking
that's what one would have done if one were scratching the book out
on metal plates. I've tried to muscle up the prose. But I've also
added lots of linguistic decals: digressions, snippets of
commentary, queries, and even humor, which the original editor,
Mormon, apparently cut."
