This propulsive narrative poem tells the extended story of the popular born-again televangelist Ray Bob Elraybetter known to all his fans as Big Bubbahis twin sons, Nick and Jesse, and his niece and adopted daughter, Donna. The comic tragedy of Big Bubbas family begins to unfold when he is interviewed by an old friend, country radio disc jockey Charlie Printwhistle. Bubba has come to Waco, Texas, to preach a revival, but soon reveals to Charlie much about his complicated relationship with his family, his ambitions for the ministry, his faith healing, and his most recent venture with Pure Products of America, Inc., which produces and endorses anything 'pure,' from Bibles to jelly preservesfor a 'whopper' of a fee, of course.Structured as a verse play of two acts composed of three scenes each,Pure Products of America, Inc., follows the unwinding of Bubbas legacy as his heirs fall out and his already slippery relationship with religion is tested by genuine grief. Along the way, master poet John Bricuth treats readers to a sly, sarcasticand sometimes deeply movinglook at storytelling, old-time religion, and the American way.
