a street preacher decked out in denim robes and running shoes julius is a source of inspiration for a community that knows nothing of his scandalous origins but when a nearby mental hospital releases its patients to run amok in his neighborhood his trusted if bedraggled flock turns expectantly to julius to find out what s going on amid the descending chaos julius encounters a hospital escapee who babbles prophecies of doom and the growing palpable sense of impending danger intensifies as does the feeling that everyone may be relying on a street preacher just a little too much still julius decides he must confront the forces that threaten his congregation including the peculiar followers of a religious cult the mysterious men and women dressed all in red seen fleetingly amid the bedlam and an enigmatic smoking figure who seems to know what s going to happen just before it does in the end the revisionaries is a wildly imaginative masterfully rendered and suspenseful tale that conjures the bold outlandishness stylishness of thomas pynchon margaret atwood and alan moore while being unlike anything that s come before
