*Book Description*
*Christ versus Arizona* turns on the events in 1881 that surrounded the
shootout at the OK Corral, where Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, and Virgil and
Morgan Earp fought the Clantons and the McLaurys. Set against a backdrop of
an Arizona influenced by the Mexican Revolution and the westward expansion
of the United States, the story is a bravura performance by the 1989 Nobel
Prize-winning author.

A monologue by the naïve, unreliable, and uneducated Wendell L. Espana, the
book weaves together hundreds of characters and a torrent of interconnected
anecdotes, some true, some fabricated. Wendell's story is a document of the
vast array of ills that welcomed the dawning of the twentieth century, ills
that continue to shape our world in the new millennium.
