Like many others have said, there is some good and bad to this story. To say that Italy holds a few surprises for Rick Dockery would be something of an understatement. He knows nothing about Parma, not even where it is, has never been to Europe, and doesn't speak or understand a word of Italian. So Rick reluctantly agrees to play for the Panthers, at least until a better offer comes along, and he heads off to Italy. Yes, Italians do play American football, to one degree or another, and the Parma Panthers desperately want a former NFL player, any former NFL player, at their helm. Against enormous odds, Arnie finally locates just such a team and informs Rick that, miraculously, he can in fact now be a starting quarterback: for the mighty Panthers of Parma, Italy. Overnight, he became a national laughingstock and, of course, was immediately cut by the Browns and shunned by all other teams.īut all Rick knows is football, and he insists that his agent, Arnie, find a team that needs him. With a 17-point lead and just minutes to go, Rick provided what was arguably the worst single performance in the history of the NFL. In the AFC Championship game against Denver, to the surprise and dismay of virtually everyone, Rick actually got into the game. Rick Dockery was the third-string quarterback for the Cleveland Browns.

But this is not merely postmodern game-playing the counterpoint between Harry’s ideas and her unruly emotions drives the plot. Harry is an unabashed intellectual, and her notebooks, which form a major part of the narrative, are crammed with citations esoteric enough to require footnotes. Following the third show, she intends to reveal this deception, “not only to expose the antifemale bias of the art world, but to uncover the complex workings of human perception and how unconscious ideas about gender, race, and celebrity influence a viewer’s understanding of a given work of art.” After his death in 1995, she reanimates her dormant career as an artist with a project she calls “Maskings.” She persuades three male artists to exhibit her installations as their own.

However, aside from the usual Christian figures of a Messiah figure, angels, etc, Chaswal also explores Eastern religions. He dislikes greed, selfishness, and the high-tech world that we inhabit because he feels that it’s turning humanity into self-absorbed idiots who can’t see our true potential for goodness. Much like the Biblical Christ, the poetic form of the Christian Messiah is all about a global movement that will return mankind to their essential humanity. He’s not some smiling figure on a cloud-no, this Christ is someone that the narrator can actually seek out in Jerusalem and have a lovely in-depth conversation with. Unlike the usual traditional Christian hymns and prayers, the Christ that appears in Chaswal’s poetry is more human than divine. His first collection, Meeting With Christ and Other Poems, is a unique look not only at Christian spirituality but also all the different belief systems that are out there in the world.
