This pastor chap itself.wordpress.com/2013/03/15/lent-5-sermon-the-resurrectionist/ blogged about how The Italian Boy had set him thinking about Lazarus, Lent, death, re-birth, incense, biblical undertakers, Nietzsche, Easter, the Kingdom of God. He also embedded in his blog the Pet Shop Boys track The Resurrectionist, which my book inspired.
People were very kind about The Italian Boy when it came out, but as rewards go, The Resurrectionist really was for me the ne plus ultra. (Pretentious? Moi?) The Resurrectionist is on the Pet Shop Boys album Format, or as the B side to the single I’m With Stupid, or as its own MP3 download, obvs. Or on YouTube https://youtu.be/IvSc7RLfUpA
